Document company decisions with board and shareholder resolutions that follow the right sequence

That usually depends on the type of decision, what the articles say and whether any shareholder agreement changes the approval route. Some matters can be approved by directors alone, while others need shareholder consent as well. Part of this service is checking the decision against the company's governance documents so the paperwork matches the authority position. Completion may depend on corporate records and approvals already being in place, so the answer is not always obvious from the commercial deal alone. We then prepare the resolutions that fit that approval path.

The order can matter because one approval may need to come before another, or because a later step assumes the earlier paperwork has already been validly dealt with. For example, if the company records are incomplete or an existing shareholder arrangement affects voting rights, the intended sequence may need to change. This service is centred on the practical steps, paperwork and sequencing involved in the resolutions process, not just producing forms. We explain how the documents are typically used so the approvals are recorded in a way that fits the company's current governance position.

It helps to have the company's current articles, details of the decision being approved, and a clear list of the current directors and shareholders. If there is a shareholder agreement, earlier resolutions or other governance paperwork that affects voting or authority, those documents are also important. The legal route can turn on what the records already say, not just what the company now wants to do. If the paperwork trail is incomplete or inconsistent, we can flag that and explain how it affects the resolutions and the order of steps.

Yes, although that can affect the route and timing. Missing registers, unclear prior approvals or inconsistent governance documents may mean the proposed resolutions need to be adjusted or that preliminary cleanup work is needed first. Completion steps can depend on the company records and any existing shareholder arrangements, so outdated records are more than an admin issue. We can identify the problem areas and explain how they affect the resolutions work. If broader record rectification or implementation support is needed, that would usually be treated as separate work.

No. This service covers the resolutions and practical guidance on how they should be used in the approval sequence. Tax and accounting consequences may need separate advice, particularly if the decision relates to shares, funding or a restructure. The fixed-fee also does not include full transaction management, regulator approval, third-party decisions or ongoing representation after the resolutions are prepared. If filings or other implementation steps are relevant, we can point out where they may arise, but handling those wider steps would need a separate scope.
