A corporate resolution is a formal document adopted by the board or shareholders to authorize a specific action. It provides a clear record of authority and helps ensure the action is properly executed. The resolution serves as proof of consent for contracts, financing, and other significant corporate acts.
You typically need a corporate resolution for contracts, financing, or significant transactions. If an action requires formal board or shareholder approval and cannot be completed through routine processes, a resolution is advisable.
Signers are usually officers or directors who have been granted authority by the board. The resolution should specify who can sign on behalf of the company and any limits on their authority.
In some cases, a unanimous written consent can replace a meeting, but it must be signed by all required parties. California law and the company’s governing documents dictate when this is permissible.
Verbal approvals are generally not sufficient for formal corporate actions. A written resolution or consent provides a clear, auditable record.
A unanimous written consent is a document signed by all directors or shareholders without a meeting. It achieves the same effect as a vote at a meeting for the actions described.
A good resolution states the action, effective date, scope, and the officers authorized to act. It should reference governing documents and include required signatures and dates.
The timeline depends on notice rules, approvals needed, and whether the action is routine or complex. Working with an attorney can streamline drafting and escalate review when needed.
