Written Resolution of the Directors

A written decision of the directors, signed by every director entitled to vote, which has the same effect as a resolution passed at a board meeting. It saves holding a meeting for straightforward decisions.

• For routine matters: changing the registered office, accounting reference date, bank mandate or company secretary
• To approve the annual accounts, call a general meeting or approve a contract
• When all directors agree and nobody wants the matter discussed at a meeting

• Keep the resolutions you need from the menu in section 2 and delete the others
• Have every eligible director sign and date it – electronic signatures are fine
• File it in the minute book and make any Companies House filings listed in the schedule
