Questions

What is a board resolution to dissolve a corporation?

A board resolution to dissolve is a formal corporate document where the board of directors authorizes the voluntary dissolution of a corporation. It typically takes the form of unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting and must comply with state corporation law requirements. The resolution initiates the dissolution process by declaring dissolution advisable, approving a liquidation plan, and directing submission to shareholders for approval.

Does a board resolution require unanimous consent for corporate dissolution?

The consent requirement depends on the method used. If the board acts by written consent without a meeting, most state laws require unanimous written consent of all directors. If the board acts at a properly noticed meeting, only the voting threshold specified in the bylaws or state law applies, typically a majority. The resolution itself recommending dissolution to shareholders usually requires approval by the vote specified in the corporation's governing documents.

What should be included in a board resolution authorizing dissolution?

A comprehensive dissolution resolution should include: a declaration that dissolution is advisable and in the corporation's best interests; approval of a plan of liquidation; direction to submit the dissolution to shareholders for approval; authorization for officers to solicit shareholder consent and prepare required notices; authority to file dissolution certificates with the Secretary of State; and general authority to wind up affairs, satisfy liabilities, and distribute assets. Each element ensures proper corporate governance and legal compliance throughout the dissolution process.

Can officers proceed with dissolution immediately after board approval?

No, officers cannot complete dissolution based solely on board approval. State corporation laws require shareholder approval of dissolution, typically by majority or supermajority vote depending on the jurisdiction and governing documents. After the board resolution, officers must obtain the required shareholder consent before filing dissolution documents with the state. The board resolution should authorize officers to take these sequential steps: first obtain shareholder approval, then file dissolution certificates and wind up corporate affairs.

How long does it take to prepare a board resolution for dissolution?

Manual preparation of a comprehensive board dissolution resolution typically takes 3-4 hours for an experienced corporate attorney, including research of state law requirements, drafting all necessary resolutions, and ensuring proper authorization language. With CaseMark, the same document can be generated in approximately 8 minutes by inputting corporation-specific information, dramatically reducing preparation time while ensuring compliance with all legal requirements and best practices.
