What Is a Board Resolution in the UAE?

A Board Resolution is a formal written record of a decision made and approved by the company’s board of directors. It proves that the board of directors have unanimously agreed to a specific action and authorizes the company to proceed.

Depending on the transaction, banks, government authorities or other organizations may require a Board Resolution before they will process your transaction.

Here are some of the common situations where a Board Resolution may be required:

  • Opening or operating a corporate bank account
  • Adding, changing, or removing an authorized signatory
  • Appointing or removing directors
  • Issuing or transferring of shares
  • Declaring dividends
  • Change your company name, address, or close the business

If your company is making an important decision, a properly drafted Board Resolution is needed to support this.
