Corporate Resolution
A Corporate Resolution is a written record documenting a formal decision or action approved by a company's board of directors or shareholders. Use this to create a signed, dated record of a company decision — opening a bank account, approving a contract, authorizing a signatory — that the company's directors formally adopted.
What's included

Fill in the bracketed details (like [Company Name] or [Date]) using Docracy's built-in text editor, then send it out for signature.
