A Uniform Commercial Code filing, also known as a UCC filing, is a document that lenders use to establish their legal right to assets that a borrower uses to secure a loan. This notice allows the lender to seize the borrower's collateral in the case of default.

In fact, it is sometimes called a UCC financing statement. A creditor files a UCC-1 to provide notice to interested parties that he or she has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. This personal property is being used as collateral in some type of secured transaction, usually a loan or a lease.

UCC-1 filings do have a shelf life. Once filed, a UCC-1 Financial Statement is typically active for five years. It's common, of course, for the terms of a business loan to extend past that, so lenders need to remember to renew the UCC-1 filing at the first five year mark, and every five years thereafter.

"Assignment" is an amendment that assigns all or part of a secured party's power to authorize an amendment to a financing statement. "Information Statement" means a UCC record that indicates that a financing statement is inaccurate or wrongfully filed.
