What is a UCC-1 Statement?

A UCC-1 statement is a legal form or document that provides a creditor a claim to the property of a debtor. Restated, it is a form of lien that the creditor obtains as security for the business loan being offered. 

Creditors file UCC-1 statements to claim collateral for a business loan. It can be filled against all sorts of personal property. The provision of UCC-1 is contained in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

Once a creditor files a UCC-1 statement, it is a notification that he wants to use the borrowers property as collateral for the loan issued. The local jurisdiction establishes procedures that creditors must adhere to when filing a UCC-1 statement.
