Board Resolution Drafting Service

A board resolution in Ireland is a formal written record of a decision made by a company’s board of directors. This board resolution drafting service provides a professionally drafted resolution for your company. It is for Irish companies that need a decision, such as opening a bank account, approving a contract, allotting shares or appointing an officer, recorded properly so it can be relied on by banks, investors and other third parties. A clear, properly worded resolution also helps keep the company’s statutory records complete.

What’s included

• A professionally drafted board resolution for your company
• Self-complete template with guidance notes — you fill it in yourself
• Documents tailored to Irish law and your circumstances, delivered by email
• A written summary of the key points and anything you need to do afterwards

Who this is for

• Directors who need a resolution for a bank, lender or investor
• Companies approving a significant contract or transaction
• Start-ups formalising decisions as they grow
• Companies that want their minute book kept in good order

How it works

1. Find a solicitor through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory and send them the basic details and any existing documents or correspondence.
2. Complete a short questionnaire about your circumstances.
3. A solicitor would then draft the board resolution to reflect the decision the directors need to record.
4. The completed work is delivered to you by email, with plain-English notes on what to do next.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a board resolution cost in Ireland?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

When does a company need a board resolution?

Resolutions are commonly needed when directors make formal decisions, such as opening bank accounts, entering significant contracts, allotting shares or appointing officers. Third parties often ask for a copy.

What is the difference between a board resolution and a shareholder resolution?

A board resolution records a decision of the directors. Some decisions must be taken by the shareholders instead, and a solicitor would flag this if it applies.
