A corporate resolution is a formal document approved by the board or managing members that authorizes a specific action. It establishes who may sign on behalf of the company, what actions are permitted, and under what conditions the authority applies.
Resolutions are typically required for contract signings, financing, and other major corporate actions. They help ensure actions are legally authorized and properly documented to support enforcement and audits.
Authorized signatories typically include officers such as the president, treasurer, or secretary, as defined by the board. The resolution may designate alternate signers and required approvals.
For time-sensitive actions with pre-approved authority, a short-form resolution or memo may suffice. If more actions are anticipated, a full resolution is usually recommended.
Validity depends on the action and governing documents; some resolutions remain effective until revoked or superseded. Regular reviews help ensure ongoing authority aligns with current needs.
If a resolution is not followed, it can create liability or breach of contract. Corrections may be needed, and updated resolutions should be referenced in future actions.
