This Circular Board Resolution is a document that allows directors of a company to pass a resolution without a physical meeting of directors. They are commonly used for non-contentious and routine resolutions that need to be passed between board meetings. Most times it is passed when such approval is urgent in nature and cannot be kept on hold for passing such resolution in the ensuing Board meeting.
