A corporate resolution to open a business bank account is a document that clearly shows the bank who has the authority to start an account on behalf of your corporation. If this information isn't specifically covered in your Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, your bank may require a resolution.
“RESOLVED THAT the Bank Account No. __________, ___________Branch with __________ Bank Limited, be and is hereby closed with immediate effect and aforesaid Bank be and is hereby requested to transfer the remaining balance in the another existing Bank wit Account No.
Banking resolutions are generally part of the process for opening a bank account for your company. Check with your bank to see what their requirements are. To authenticate it as a stand-alone document, the banking resolution is signed by the corporate secretary and stamped with the corporation's corporate seal.
What Is Banking Resolution? A banking resolution is a formal document passed by a corporation or LLC's board of directors authorizing specific individuals to manage the company's bank accounts. This includes the ability to open accounts, sign checks, and handle other banking tasks.
The “Articles of Dissolution” or “Certificate of Termination” is generally the document that must be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State within the state where the corporation or LLC company is formed.
The certificate of dissolution can be mailed to the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations, PO Box 146705, Salt Lake City Utah 84114-6705. Alternatively, the form can be brought in person to 160 East 300 South (or 160 E Broadway), Salt Lake City Utah 84111.
Single-member LLCs do not need resolutions, but they can still come in handy in certain situations, like if the company must defend itself in court. Documenting changes or actions not covered in the original bylaws or articles of incorporation can help an LLC protect itself from lawsuits or judicial investigations.
