UCC filing office

A UCC filing office is a government or designated agency where financial lenders, such as banks or creditors, record legal notices called UCC filings. These filings serve as public records indicating that a lender has a security interest—or legal claim—in a borrower's personal property, like equipment or inventory, to secure a loan. By filing here, creditors establish priority and protect their rights if the borrower defaults. The office helps ensure transparency and provides a centralized system for tracking secured interests across different transactions and lenders.
