Bullet point 2 About Uniform Commercial Code
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a standardized set of laws governing commercial transactions in the United States. It provides a consistent legal framework for businesses and individuals engaged in activities such as sales, leases, negotiable instruments, and secured transactions. UCC filings, specifically, are public records used to document a creditor's legal interest in a debtor's assets, often in the context of loans or credit agreements. These filings help ensure transparency and prioritize claims in case of default.
