Properly drafted resolutions for every major decision.
ZegalWorks drafts the board and shareholder resolutions your company needs, and files them with the ROC when required.
What is Board Resolution Drafting?
A resolution is the formal record of a decision taken by a company's board of directors or shareholders. Many actions need one before they are valid or before a bank, regulator or investor will accept them, such as opening a bank account, borrowing, appointing directors or an auditor, allotting shares or approving accounts.
Some resolutions, mainly special resolutions, must also be filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14, generally within 30 days. Poorly worded or missing resolutions are a common due diligence finding, so we draft them to match the decision and the law.
Who this is for
A good fit if you
- Need a resolution for a bank, lender or investor
- Are allotting shares or appointing directors
- Hold board meetings and need minutes drafted
- Have decisions made informally that were never recorded
Something else may suit you better if
You are a proprietorship or partnership. Company resolutions do not apply.
You also need agreements, not resolutions. See legal documentation.
You need registers updated after the decision. See statutory registers.

How long it takes and what it costs
Most resolutions are drafted within one to two working days, and filings follow immediately after approval.
Your total cost has two parts: our professional fee, and any government or statutory fees that apply. Government fees are set by the authority and vary by case, so we give you an itemised quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for packages.
