Certain specific requirements are required for the security agreement to form the foundation for a valid security interest, namely 1) it must be signed, 2) it must clearly state that a security interest is intended, and 3) it must contain a sufficient description of the collateral subject to the security interest.
Security agreements and financing statements are often confused with one another. The primary difference is that the financing statement largely serves as notice that a creditor possesses security interest in the debtor's assets or property. The financing statement is not a contract.
At a minimum, a valid security agreement consists of a description of the collateral, a statement of the intention of providing security interest, and signatures from all parties involved.
A security agreement is a document that provides a lender a security interest in a specified asset or property that is pledged as collateral. Security agreements often contain covenants that outline provisions for the advancement of funds, a repayment schedule, or insurance requirements.
For a security interest to attach, the following events must have occurred: (A) value must have been given by the Secured Party; (B) the Debtor must have rights in the collateral; and (C) the Secured Party must have been granted a security interest in the collateral.
