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.

The main purpose of a UCC is to perfect the secured interest of the secured party in personal property collateral. The UCC financing statement is a form that a creditor files to give notice that it has an interest in the personal property of a debtor. A bank, not an entrepreneur, typically files the statement.

UCC-3 is an amendment or ?continuation statement? that the owner files to renew the UCC-1 for another 5-year period. Unless a continuation statement is filed before the expiration of the UCC-1's 5-year period, the owner must file a new UCC-1.

?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.

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.
