Company Authorisation Letter

"I need a Company Authorisation Letter to allow our Regional Sales Director to sign contracts up to £500,000 and represent our company in negotiations across Europe, effective from January 2025 for a 12-month period."

Document background
The Company Authorisation Letter is a crucial document in corporate governance under English and Welsh law, used when a company needs to formally delegate authority to specific individuals. It is particularly important for businesses conducting operations where representatives need to act on the company's behalf, such as signing contracts, managing bank accounts, or dealing with regulatory authorities. The letter should clearly specify the scope of authority, any limitations, and the duration of the authorization to ensure legal compliance and protect the company's interests.
