UCC-1 Filings Explained If you're approved for a small-business loan, a lender might file a UCC financing statement or a UCC-1 filing. This is just a legal form that allows for the lender to announce lien on a secured loan.
What does UCC stand for? UCC stands for Uniform Commercial Code. The UCC is a set of laws concerning commercial transactions, such as the sale of goods. It also covers secured transactions, where a lender gains the right to foreclose on a borrower's collateral should the borrower default on the loan.
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.
A UCC filing, also known as a UCC lien or a UCC-1, is a financing statement which lenders can file against your business with your secretary of state.This might be a piece of equipment, a vehicle, property, or even a blanket lien naming all your assets.
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.
The UCC is a model code sponsored by the American Law Institute and the Uniform Law Commission that governs commercial transactions and has been enacted, in one form or another, in each of the 50 states. Generally, Articles 3 and 9 of the UCC are relevant to mortgage loans.
As the word Uniform in its title suggests, a primary purpose of the UCC is to make business activities more predictable and efficient by making business laws highly consistent across all American states.
A UCC lien is a claim against your business assets under the U.S. Uniform Commercial Code.If you borrow money, a UCC filing simply lets the lender establish a priority claim on your assets. If your company goes belly up, the lien makes it easier for the lender to collect its due.
In general, Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code applies only to security interests in personal property and fixtures, not liens on real property.
