How to Write a Board of Directors Resolution

Board resolutions are legally-binding documents that document the decisions and votes taken by the directors of your company at the board meeting. Significant situations, such as the appointment of new directors, firing or hiring employees, and selling company shares all call for a board resolution as compliance evidence to show that your board has approved these important decisions.

In order to write a board of directors resolution, your first step is to determine what nature of the decision you're making. Review your company's policy to determine if it requires an ordinary or special resolution. In the governing document of your company it is possible to specify how many directors are required to be present to vote on the decision. For example, you might require a quorum of at least three directors in order to pass a resolution that requires binding decisions.

Start with an appropriate title for the document. This will help you quickly identify the document within your records system. Include a unique resolution number for your document-keeping system. This will allow you to easily reference the resolution in the future.

It is important that all directors sign your resolution after it has been drafted. This is why it's a great option to use board portal software, which simplifies the process of writing resolutions and e-signing them quick and convenient.
