A Utah Financing Statement is a vital document used to establish a creditor's security interest in a debtor's collateral. It serves as a public notice to other potential creditors about the secured party's claim on specific assets. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs financing statements in the state of Utah. In Utah, there are two primary types of financing statements: the initial financing statement and the amendment financing statement. 1. Initial Financing Statement: The initial financing statement is the first filing made to establish a creditor's secured interest in the collateral. It typically includes key information such as the debtor's and secured party's names and addresses, a description of the collateral, and any included or referenced security agreements. The collateral description must be accurate and detailed enough to identify the assets precisely. 2. Amendment Financing Statement: An amendment financing statement is filed when modifications or changes occur in the initial financing statement. Amendments can include revisions to debtor's information, secured party's details, changes in the collateral description, or terminations of the security interest. These statements are essential to keep the public record updated and maintain the secured party's priority against other potential creditors.
