A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a board-approved action. It states who is authorized to act and under what conditions. The resolution becomes part of the company’s official records. You may need counsel to ensure the language meets state and lender requirements. We can tailor the document to your governance structure.
Typically, the chair or another authorized officer signs the resolution, and the secretary or another designated officer attests or certifies it. In some cases, multiple signatories may be required.
Not all resolutions require notarization, but certain actions or jurisdictions may. We advise on what your situation requires and can prepare the necessary attestations.
The timeline varies with complexity and whether the action is routine. Simple matters can be completed quickly, while complex transactions take longer.
Templates can save time, but customized language ensures enforceability and compliance with local rules and lender expectations.
