A corporate resolution is a written document created by the board of directors of a company detailing a binding corporate action. A board of directors is a group of people that act as a governing body on behalf of the shareholders of a company.
A board resolution is sometimes called a corporate resolution or directors' resolution. Simply put, a board resolution is a formal document of a board's decision. A board of directors is the highest authority in an organization, and their decisions can have far-reaching consequences.
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).
Unlike corporations, LLCs don't need to file business resolutions with the state. Single-member LLCs (SMLLCs) can also use business resolutions, even though there is no chance of disagreement among the members.
Voting Resolutions: Voting resolutions are used to make important decisions in the LLC. Voting resolutions require the approval of a certain number of members for the resolution to pass. Consent Resolutions: Consent resolutions are used when all members of the LLC agree to a certain action or decision.
Typically, a board of directors will create corporate resolutions and sign them at a board meeting. Before the meeting, all board members should receive a meeting agenda that includes any decisions or actions to be resolved. Resolutions must follow a format approved by the state where the business is registered.
An LLC corporate resolution is a record of a decision made through a vote by the board of directors or LLC members. Limited liability companies (LLCs) enjoy specific tax and legal benefits modeled after a corporate structure, although they are not corporations.
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.
The title of the resolution must appropriately reflect the intent. Resolutions begin with "Whereas" statements, which provides the basic facts and reasons for the resolution, and conclude with "Resolved" statements which, identifies the specific proposal for the requestor's course of action.
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.
