personal property security

Personal property security refers to the legal framework that protects the rights of creditors to secure their loans or obligations with personal property of the borrower, such as cars, equipment, or inventory. This is typically achieved through a security interest, which gives the creditor a claim on the property if the borrower defaults. The process involves creating a written agreement and often registering the security interest to ensure it is enforceable against other creditors. This system helps maintain trust in lending by providing a way for lenders to recover their assets in case of non-payment.
