A corporate resolution is a written record of a decision approved by the board or shareholders. It authorizes a specific action and sets who may sign on behalf of the company. Resolutions help prevent questions about authority and provide a clear trail for audits and contracts.
Usually the authorized officer or director signs the resolution, as defined by the bylaws and board-approved authority. In some cases, multiple signatures may be required for certain actions. Always follow the internal rules of the company.
A board resolution is typically needed for actions that affect governance, contracts, or finances. Some minor actions may be approved through written consents, but significant matters usually require a formal resolution.

Processing times vary by complexity and the availability of the directors. A straightforward action can be finalized in a few days, while more complex matters may take longer depending on approvals.
