The corporate resolution will be adopted at a board meeting, and can be found in the minutes of the meeting detailing the decisions made by the board.

A resolution, on the other hand, describes one action taken by the board at a meeting, is prepared separately during the meeting, and is attested to by the secretary of the corporation before the president approves it.
Corporate resolutions are necessary business documents for corporations, whether they be for-profit or nonprofit. Limited liability companies (LLCs) are not required to create corporate resolutions, but oftentimes do so in order to document their decisions in a formal way.
Additionally, your S corporation must hold an organizational meeting (initial meeting of directors) where you adopt bylaws and undertake other initial corporate actions (such as appointing officers and approving a resolution to open a business bank account).
Unlike corporations, LLCs don't need to file business resolutions with the state. Single-member LLCs (SMLLCs) can also use business resolutions, even though there is no chance of disagreement among the members.
Corporate resolution (also known as a board resolution) is a written legal document , issued by the board of directors of a corporation , documenting a binding decision made on behalf of the corporation.
One major advantage of an S corporation is that it provides owners limited liability protection, regardless of its tax status. Limited liability protection means that the owners' personal assets are shielded from the claims of business creditors—whether the claims arise from contracts or litigation.
Essentially, a board of directors must use a corporate resolution to document all corporate actions, which creates accountability for the board's decisions. A corporate resolution is considered a binding document, so it's stored in the corporate records book after the board members sign it.
C Corporations, C Corporations that elect to be taxed as S Corporations, and other types of corporations use corporate resolutions. Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) or Limited Partnerships might also be required to issue resolutions to record their owners' (members or partners) decisions and actions.
