What Is It?
A resolution is the formal record of a decision made by your directors or shareholders — approving a transaction, appointing an officer, declaring a dividend, opening a bank account, and similar. Minutes are the written record of what was discussed and decided at a meeting. We draft both professionally, matching the decision to the right resolution type and keeping a copy on your company's file.
Decisions, documented properly
Why You Need It
- The Companies Act 2016 requires companies to keep minutes of directors' and members' meetings, and records of resolutions passed.
- Banks and counterparties often ask for a supporting resolution before acting on a company's instruction (e.g. opening an account, signing a contract).
- A properly documented decision protects directors — it shows a decision was made through the correct process, not informally.
What We'll Need From You
The details of the decision to be documented — what's being approved, who's involved, and the date. For a meeting, we'll also need who attended and a summary of what was discussed. We'll draft the resolution or minutes in the correct format and send it back for your directors'/shareholders' signature.

Frequently Asked Questions
A resolution documents a single decision. Minutes are the broader written record of an entire meeting — who attended, what was discussed, and every resolution passed during it. You may need one or both, depending on the situation.
Routine resolutions and minutes are part of the ongoing secretarial role. This page is for anyone who needs a specific resolution or minute set drafted without a full secretarial engagement.
Usually yes — tell us the timeline via the contact form and we'll confirm whether we can turn it around in time.
Once it's passed correctly (approved by the right people, in the right form) and signed, yes. We draft it in the correct format — the decision itself is still yours to make.
