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.
Enforcing the security agreement You can also file a Unified Commercial Code-1 (UCC-1) statement with your state, which acts as a lien on the property. Check with your state's Secretary of State, or government agency that regulates businesses, to get a UCC-1 form, as each state has its own unique document.

Just like real estate deeds, security agreements should be recorded at state offices and made available to the public. Recording a security agreement—filing / registering it with the state—does a number of things for both parties involved.
