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.
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.
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.
Your company's articles of incorporation are like its birth certificate, establishing its legal existence and basic structure. Corporate resolutions, on the other hand, are like the chapters of a book, documenting the key decisions that shape the company's journey.
