A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a decision made by the board or shareholders and authorizes a specific action. It provides a clear record of authority, scope, and effective date. A resolution helps prevent disputes by showing exactly who can act on behalf of the company and under what terms.
Typically, resolutions are signed by the chair of the board, the chief executive, or another authorized officer. In some cases, a majority of directors or a quorum must participate. Exact signing authority should be outlined in the resolution framework of the company.
Resolutions are commonly required for significant actions such as entering into contracts, opening bank accounts, issuing shares, or making changes to governance documents. For routine administrative actions, written consent may suffice depending on the company bylaws.
Notarization is not always required, but some banks, lenders, or jurisdictions may request it. We can advise on when notarization or additional authentication is helpful.
Templates can be a good starting point, but each resolution should be tailored to reflect the specific action, authority, and parties involved. We customize language to fit your situation and records.
Resolutions and related governance documents should be retained as part of corporate records, typically for as long as the company remains in existence plus any applicable statutory periods.
A properly drafted resolution generally does not alter existing contracts unless the resolution specifically authorizes amendment or assignment. We can help ensure consistency across documents.
If there is disagreement among directors, we review the governing documents, advise on the correct course of action, and draft any necessary amendments or follow up actions to resolve the matter.
Yes. Resolutions can be amended by a subsequent resolution or by written consent, depending on the authority granted and the nature of the original action.
