A Shareholders' Written Consent to Action, or a
consent resolution, is a written statement that describes and validates a
course of action taken by the shareholders. Every enterprise with more than one
shareholder uses an Action by written consent of shareholders in handling the
business of the company.

Action
by written consent of shareholders is the limited liability company,
shareholders' right to action without meeting, via the action by written
consent of shareholders note instead of a meeting. This format of action tends
to avoid negative tendencies some shareholder meetings might have. An Action by
written consent of shareholders’ resolution, is a document that details and
quantifies the protocol followed by shareholders within a firm without
requiring that a meeting occur between shareholders and/or directors.
Action by Written Consent of Shareholders forms, may
generally require that the amount of votes of approval be equivalent to those
that would be needed for an actual shareholder meeting to occur. I think it
also important to not forget that these days it's might be compulsory that a
board meeting needs to be face-to-face, there are many methods of holding a
meeting that are available to us today, such as telephone or skype video
meetings, these are common practices and you might want to include them as an
accepted methodology of hosting meetings in the corporation's bylaws.
The
Action by Written Consent of Shareholders is known by names such as,
Shareholders' Consent to Action Without Meeting, Notice of Action by Written
Consent, Shareholders' Written Consent to Action and Action by Unanimous
Written Consent, however most of the time a unanimous written consent is used
in the context of large companies, though they can also be applied by limited
liability companies (LLCs) and all kinds of legal entities.
As
previously stated, meetings have some negative aspects that come with in-person
sittings, because of this they become less desirable than an action by written
consent of shareholders note. To take part in a meeting people must, for
instance, be available at a specific time, be available if the meeting takes
longer than previously anticipated to adjourn, or maybe the company or its directors
and shareholders have the intention to action certain advancements but are not
inclined to waiting until the next meeting at the end of the fiscal year. And,
proposing a special meeting may be difficult if people cannot attend.
A
recorded, remote meeting can be conducted with the action by written consent of
shareholders note. During a regular sitting, the actions taken during the gathering are recorded in the minutes of meeting record book. With an action by written consent of shareholders, the said
actions can be commenced only if an action by written consent of shareholders’
note is completed by the same number of voting shareholders as what would be
needed in a formal in-person meeting. The meeting minutes and action by written
consent of shareholders are the same, except that with the latter, there is no
actual meeting, it’s all done remotely. This allows the shareholders and
directors to save time handling minor matters.
Most
of the time in boardroom meetings, shareholders and directors make major
decisions with regards to the business of the corporation, these include but
are not limited to the purchasing or selling of another business, mergers,
issuing stock, and settling lawsuits. Shareholders usually handle the making of
such decisions during shareholders' meetings and board members will also do the
same in their directors' meetings. The outcome of said decisions are called
corporate resolutions.
Once
all the voting parties understand what contents of the subject being discussed
are and are all in total agreement, the secretary prepares an action by written
consent of shareholders document that where she will record the issue and the
decision taken in detail. The action by written consent of shareholders is
after that signed by all of the members of the board or shareholders and thus
the resolution is recorded in the company minutes of a meeting record book.
For
shareholders to act by Action by Written Consent of Shareholders note instead
of a formal boardroom meeting, the Action by Written Consent of Shareholders
document must, say where the corporation was incorporated (the jurisdiction),
have the corporation name, record the name of the chairperson (this is usually
the chairperson of the board, the president, or secretary), contain the names
of the shareholder, have a resolution (the final decision), show the date on
which the resolution is effective (usually once the resolution has been
signed), if it applies, have Certified resolutions, (this often happens where
resolutions need to be verifiable) and written proposals of consent.
