A corporate resolution document does not need to be notarized, although if it involves other transactions then those might have to be notarized. Once the document has been signed off and dated by the chairperson, vice-chairperson, corporate treasurer, and secretary, it becomes a binding document.
Corporate resolutions are necessary business documents for corporations, whether they be for-profit or nonprofit.
Typically, a board of directors will create corporate resolutions and sign them at a board meeting. Before the meeting, all board members should receive a meeting agenda that includes any decisions or actions to be resolved. Resolutions must follow a format approved by the state where the business is registered.
A corporate resolution is a written document created by the board of directors of a company detailing a binding corporate action. A board of directors is a group of people that act as a governing body on behalf of the shareholders of a company.
