A UCC-1 financing statementalso sometimes referred to as a 'UCC-1 filing,' a 'UCC lien,' or simply a 'UCC-1'is a form that creditors use to create a lien against a debtor's property.

UCC filings or liens are legal forms that a creditor files to give notice that it has an interest in the personal or business property of a debtor. Essentially, UCC lien filings allow a lender to formally lay claim to collateral that a debtor pledges to secure their financing.

Ask the lender to terminate the lien upon payoff. When you pay off a loan, a good rule of thumb is to immediately submit a request with the lender to file a UCC-3 form with your secretary of state. The UCC-3 will terminate the lien on your company's asset (or assets) and remove the UCC-1 filing.

A UCC filing is a legal notice a lender files with the secretary of state when they have a security interest against one of your assets. It gives notice that the lender has an interest, or lien, against the asset being used by you to secure the financing. The term UCC filing comes from the uniform commercial code.

A UCC-1 financing statement (an abbreviation for Uniform Commercial Code-1) is a legal form that a creditor files to give notice that it has or may have an interest in the personal property of a debtor (a person who owes a debt to the creditor as typically specified in the agreement creating the debt).

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.

Having a UCC filed on your business credit report can have negative effects in general on your overall credit risk, scoring and other associated risk analysis, (across all three business credit bureaus) and can even kill your chances at getting financing for your business.
