UCC-1 financing statement

A public notice filed with the secretary of state recording a secured party’s claim against a business’s assets.

Also called UCC filing · UCC lien

It names the debtor, the secured party, a collateral description and a filing date — and deliberately nothing else. It does not show the amount advanced, the terms, the outstanding balance, or whether the obligation has been repaid, which is why a filing on a long-settled advance looks identical to one on a live position.

Why it matters to a broker

Two uses: finding undisclosed positions before submitting, and as the raw material behind UCC lead lists. The second is far weaker than the first.
