As Ralph points out, the signature is certainly enough for debiting an account, but it appears that in your context the power may go well beyond merely debiting an account.
Thus: The business manager has full agency authority.
This would cover all bets.

: Sole representative/tion is broader but the common rendering. Reading between the lines full agency = sole represantation. Not always but mostly. If they are authorized: authorized sole represantation OR full agency (without the need to use authorized) :)

Kcda
: I do not like "power" incorporated this way. Power = has the authority=authorized etc. in these contexts IMO. "Power" is workable (that is my fairness in "neutral")/This specific context has nothing to do with that type of wording using "power" directly!

Careful! This is, im Sinne vom Ralf in FffM, about the Prokura i.e. authority to sign and bind the co.
It is NOT a sole agency or power as, in German-speaking corps. esp. in CH, there may be several Einzelprokuristen 'mit *Einzelnvetretungsmacht*, and several Gesamtprokuristen.
