Power of attorney
Nominating a corporate power of attorney ensures that your company can still be effectively managed in unforeseen circumstances.
A power of attorney, usually given by the directors or shareholders of a company, is a document which provides a nominated individual with the power to exercise control over the company in the event that the managing directors lose the mental capacity to do so or are unavailable.
Features of a corporate power of attorney
The nominated individual may carry out the following responsibilities on your behalf:
When establishing your corporate power of attorney, you may also restrict its functions to suit your company’s needs, such as limiting the powers to act on large sums.
General requirements
Before appointing a power of attorney, your company’s articles of association and shareholder agreements will need to be reviewed to ensure that no prior restrictions have been put in place.
You should also ensure that your company’s governing documents are up to date as you may be able to rely on a statutory right in the event that your company’s articles do not allow for the appointment of a power of attorney.
Minutes
Corporate minutes are used to record all information relating to corporate or professional meetings. These minutes must be stored in a company’s business records for at least 10 years and may be needed in order for a company to retain their legal status.
Records of meeting minutes serve as definitive evidence for all attendees and activities which took place during the meeting and will be used as evidence in courts unless proven otherwise.
Features of corporate minutes
Information recorded in a corporate minutes document include:
General Requirements
The law requires minutes of board meetings to be kept unbiased and comprehensive, with clear records of all topics of discussion, debate and voting. You must ensure that all information disclosed within a corporate minutes document is accurate and factual, providing an impartial and robust account of the meeting.
Resolutions
A company resolution is an agreement which is passed when a majority of votes is casted by the directors or shareholders of the company. It is produced by the board of directors of a company and details binding corporate action decided on by the company as a whole.
Types of company resolutions
The following 3 types of resolutions are available to shareholders:
