?UCC? stands for Uniform Commercial Code. The Uniform Commercial Code is a uniform law that governs commercial transactions, including sales of goods, secured transactions and negotiable instruments. The Uniform Commercial Code is a comprehensive set of statutes created to provide consistency among the states.

In New Jersey, State-licensed, municipally employed code enforcement professionals- construction officials, subcode officials, and inspectors--are responsible for the enforcement of the UCC.

An Example of a UCC Lien Filing If you secure equipment financing, the lender will file a UCC lien to state that if the debt for the espresso machine is not repaid, the lender has the right to repossess the espresso machine or seize other assets from your business.

UCC liens are the collateral that secures lenders' investments. One type of UCC-1 filing includes a lien against specific collateral, meaning the creditor's investment in the business is secured with a particular asset.

The UCC system gives public notice of the debtor-secured party relationship and the collateral involved. To record this relationship, you will file a UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC-1). If the conditions change, you may amend the initial filing statement by submitting Form UCC-3.

"Address" means either (1) a street address, route number (may include box) or P.O. Box number plus the city, state and zip code, or (2) an address that purports to be a mailing address outside the United States of America. "Amendment" means a UCC record that amends the information contained in a financing statement.
