FILE UCC FINANCING STATEMENTS
 

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statements record and protect a secured party's interest in the collateral offered by a debtor for a loan. 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. This document will reflect the current relationship including continuation of the maturity date, amendment of the conditions or information in the original filing, termination of the obligation, assignment to another, or partial release of the collateral listed.

If you are filing by paper, the forms may be obtained on the IACA homepage or at a local legal stationery store. The documents are to be submitted in duplicate. Remember when completing the paper form that only one name is to be listed on the form as the debtor and one name as the secured party. Additional names such as "doing business as", trade names, fictitious names, and "also known as" names for either the debtor or the secured party should be listed on an addendum and attached to the UCC-1 or the UCC-3.
