A corporate resolution is a formal written decision approved by the board or shareholders that authorizes specific actions. It documents who has the authority to act on behalf of the company and under what terms. This creates a clear official record for governance and external dealings.
Typically, officers or directors who have been given authority sign the resolution. The exact signatories are determined by the company’s governing documents and the scope of the approved actions. In some cases, a corporate secretary may also attest the document.
Having legal guidance helps ensure the resolution uses precise language and complies with California law. While some simple matters may be drafted in house, a lawyer can help avoid ambiguities and future disputes.
Processing time varies with complexity, but routine resolutions can take a few days to a couple of weeks. More complex actions or negotiations with lenders may require additional review and approvals.
Yes. A single resolution can authorize multiple related actions if the document clearly describes each action and the limits of authority. Clarity is key to avoid unintended approvals.

Prepare the proposed actions, governing documents, recent meeting minutes, and any authorizations already in place. Having contact details for officers who will sign can speed up the process.
