- Entering into leases, loans, contracts, or other major transactions
- Authorizing officers or committees to act on behalf of the corporation
- Approving corporate governance changes, such as bylaws amendments
What Must Be Included?
- Corporation name, date & location of resolution
- Statement of unanimous approval or voting outcome
- Clear resolution text (what the board authorizes)

Why It Matters
Corporate resolutions record board decisions in writing and support governance, audit, banking, and legal compliance. Keeping written resolutions helps maintain your corporate veil.
