Redact Legal Wyoming UCC Forms For Free

Legal requirements for the UCC-1 In order for a UCC-1 to hold weight in a legal proceeding, it must include the exact legal name of the debtor, the collateral included in the lien and the name of the secured party.

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.

Essentially, a UCC-1 can be described as a financing statement. 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.

Fill in the debtor's name and mailing address. It may be an individual, or it may be in the name of a business or organization. If the loan is in the name of the business, include the business mailing address. There is space for additional debtors. Include them exactly as they appeared on the loan agreement.

It's possible to avoid a UCC filing by taking out an unsecured business loan rather than a secured one. For example, many online and alternative lenders offer unsecured loans, and you can get an SBA 7(a) loan of up to $25,000 without collateral.

"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.
