What is a Member Resolution?
An LLC member resolution is a written document used to officially record an important decision or approval by the members of an LLC. It helps clarify who agreed to what, when, and keeps your company records in good shape.
While most states do not legally require resolutions for LLCs, banks, lawyers, and other third parties often want to see one for major actions—such as loans, leases, or buying property.
What Should an LLC Member Resolution Include?
- LLC Name: The official legal name of your business
- Date: When the decision or vote took place
- Action: A clear, specific statement of what was approved (e.g., “to open a business bank account at [Bank Name]”)
- Names and Signatures: All members who participated and approved
- Confirmation: A sentence confirming that the resolution is adopted and added to company records
You can customize our free template for any action, from appointing new members to approving new contracts.
