Entity Info
Full legal name, formation state, and EIN. These identifiers let recipients match the statement to public formation records quickly and accurately.
A precise statement reduces verification delays, clarifies who may sign, and helps counterparties and regulators rely on corporate representations. Accurate statements lower administrative friction at closings and can prevent costly re-execution or re-notarization.
Typical preparers include corporate secretaries, registered agents, property managers, and in-house legal teams.
Ensure the preparer references corporate minutes or a board resolution to tie the statement to formal corporate authority.
Full legal name, formation state, and EIN. These identifiers let recipients match the statement to public formation records quickly and accurately.
Reference to a board resolution, bylaws citation, or officer certification. This ties the signatory’s power to formal corporate action and reduces follow-up.
Clear, numbered factual assertions (for example: authorized signatory, term of office, restrictions). Avoid ambiguous language that invites interpretation.
Printed name, corporate title, signature line, and date. If an individual signs on behalf of the entity, include the capacity line (e.g., CEO, Corporate Secretary).
Notary acknowledgment or RON session details where required by state law or counterparty practice; include notarial certificate text if applicable.
Attach the authorizing resolution, officer roster, or certificate of formation as supporting exhibits to avoid later requests for evidence.
Choose delivery methods that meet recipient authentication and notarization expectations before sending.
Platforms with integrations (for example: Salesforce, NetSuite, Google Workspace, Box, Procore) simplify routing and storage while keeping an audit trail and supporting secure long-term retention.
