Overview
A certified board resolution is a certified true copy of a resolution passed by the Board, usually under Section 179. Banks, the Registrar, tax authorities, payment gateways and vendors routinely ask for one before they open an account, register a change or accept an authorised signatory.
Resolutions can be passed at a duly convened board meeting or, for permitted items, by circulation under Section 175. Certain resolutions must also be filed with the Registrar in Form MGT-14 under Section 117. We draft the resolution in the right words, certify the copy and handle any filing.
