An individual owner or sole proprietor listed as the business owner may sign contracts and lien waivers if authorized. Ensure the name matches tax records and that any trade name is accompanied by the legal entity name for enforceability.
An officer (CEO, CFO, President) or an authorized agent with written delegation may sign. Where an agent signs, attach corporate resolution or power of attorney to show authority and avoid later challenge.
