Officers of corporations are presumed to have signing authority, while the company must specifically grant others the authority either in its bylaws, stockholders or operating agreement, or in other documentation.
A corporate resolution document does not need to be notarized, although if it involves other transactions then those might have to be notarized. Once the document has been signed off and dated by the chairperson, vice-chairperson, corporate treasurer, and secretary, it becomes a binding document.
A resolution in writing signed by each director member will be effective as long as the constitutional documents do not preclude this approach, however we advise that the articles are drafted to expressly permit this type of decision-making.
Examples of corporate resolutions include the adoption of new bylaws, the approval of changes in the board members, determining what board members have access to certain finances, such as bank accounts, deciding upon mergers and acquisitions, and deciding executive compensation.
What should corporate resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement of unanimous approval of resolution. Confirmation that the resolution was adopted at a regularly called meeting. Resolution. Statement authorizing officers to carry out the resolution.
