An LLC's corporate resolution form will need to include the following: The business name. Member signatures. If a vote is taken, a record of who voted and their vote. Signatures of others involved/present (secretaries, corporate officers, lawyers, third-party representatives, etc.) Date and location.
Your Initial Resolutions are a legal document stating who has control over your LLC, which can be used to prove LLC ownership. This document needs to be signed by the organizer of your LLC (the person who signed the Articles of Organization).
Obtain a copy of the corporate resolution form California from the Secretary of State's website or local office. Fill in the necessary information on the form, such as the name of the corporation, its address, and the date of the resolution.
LLC resolutions should be signed by all members or authorized representatives of the LLC who are involved in the decision or action being documented in the resolution.
The law does not require an LLC Resolution to be notarized or witnessed by any third parties. In concept, there could be a requirement within a certain limited liability company which does require it – but that would be uncommon.
Any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members must vote on it. Typically a majority of the members is needed to pass the resolution, but each LLC may have different voting rights. Some LLCs give a different value to each member's vote based on their percentage of interest in the company.
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.
