Fill in the debtor's name and mailing address. It may be an individual, or it may be in the name of a business or organization. If the loan is in the name of the business, include the business mailing address. There is space for additional debtors. Include them exactly as they appeared on the loan agreement.
A UCC filing is the official notice lenders use to indicate that they have a security interest in a borrower's assets or property. The UCC filing establishes a lien against the collateral the borrower uses to secure the loan ? giving the lender the right to claim that collateral as repayment in the case of default.
A UCC financing statement ? also called a UCC-1 financing statement or a UCC-1 filing ? is a legal form that allows a lender to announce a lien on an asset to secure a loan. By filing the UCC financing statement, the lender is giving notice that it has an interest in the property listed in the filing.
A UCC lien filing remains on your business credit report for 5 years. This has no negative effect on your credit score, however, when someone checks your credit report it is visible and that can play a factor in your ability to be approved for things other than just business funding.
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings allow creditors to notify other creditors about a debtor's assets used as collateral for a secured transaction. UCC liens filed with Secretary of State offices act as a public notice by the "creditor" of the creditor's interest in the property.
Remember: as long as an asset has a UCC lien filed against it, you're not allowed to transfer, sell, or use it as collateral for any other loan.
Ask the lender to terminate the lien upon payoff. A good rule of thumb is to request that your lender file a UCC-3 form with your secretary of state as soon as possible after you pay off your loan. The UCC-3 will terminate the lien on your company's assets (or assets) and remove the UCC-1 filing.
