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.
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.
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.
When you create a resolution to open a bank account, you need to include the following information: The legal name of the corporation. The name of the bank where the account will be created. The state where the business is formed. Information about the directors/members.
