A corporate resolution is a formal written authorization approved by the board or shareholders to carry out a specific action. It creates official authority and a clear record for auditors and lenders. If your company frequently engages in contracts or financing, having a properly drafted resolution helps ensure consistent decisions.

In many cases, resolutions are not filed with the state unless required by specific transactions. They are kept in your corporate records and presented when dealing with lenders, vendors, or regulatory bodies.
Turnaround times vary by complexity, but a straightforward resolution can take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on approvals and document preparation.
