What Is a Board Resolution?
A Board Resolution is a formal corporate approval confirming that the company has authorized a specific action, person, transaction or signing authority. Banks, free zones, notaries and registries often request it before accepting corporate instructions.
We prepare resolutions with clear wording, correct company details and the authority required for the intended transaction.
Board resolutions may be used to appoint managers, authorize POAs, approve bank transactions, approve share transfers, open branches, sign contracts or make corporate changes.
Common Board Resolution Uses
- Appointing a manager or authorized signatory
- Approving a power of attorney on behalf of the company
- Opening, closing or operating bank accounts
- Approving share transfer or corporate restructuring
- Authorizing a commercial contract or transaction
Important: The resolution must match the company constitutional documents. Some companies require shareholder approval instead of board approval, or both, depending on the action.
