A UCC filing is the official notice lenders use to indicate that they have a security interest in a borrower's assets or property. The UCC filing establishes a lien against the collateral the borrower uses to secure the loan ? giving the lender the right to claim that collateral as repayment in the case of default.

What does it look like? A UCC-1 financing statement contains three important pieces of information: Parts 1 and 2 contain the personal and contact information of the borrower. Part 3 contains the personal and contact information of the secured party?otherwise known as the creditor.

A UCC financing statement ? also called a UCC-1 financing statement or a UCC-1 filing ? is a legal form that allows a lender to announce a lien on an asset to secure a loan. By filing the UCC financing statement, the lender is giving notice that it has an interest in the property listed in the filing.

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.

Ask the lender to terminate the lien upon payoff. A good rule of thumb is to request that your lender file a UCC-3 form with your secretary of state as soon as possible after you pay off your loan. The UCC-3 will terminate the lien on your company's assets (or assets) and remove the UCC-1 filing.
