Document background
A Board Resolution For Change Of Company Name is a crucial corporate document required under New Zealand law when a company decides to modify its registered name. This document is necessary whenever a company seeks to change its name for reasons such as rebranding, merger, acquisition, or strategic repositioning. It must comply with the Companies Act 1993 and should be prepared after confirming the availability of the proposed name with the New Zealand Companies Office. The resolution typically includes the date of the board meeting, details of directors present, the specific resolution wording, and authorization for officers to implement the change. It serves as the primary evidence of proper corporate decision-making and is required for filing the name change with the Companies Office. The document should be maintained in the company's records and may be needed for various corporate and regulatory purposes.
