to interested third parties. The method
adopted is a "notice" filing system.

This Section provides an essential
service to the business community,
offering a repository of records of UCC
and federal lien documents. It also has
the character of a public "bulletin
board" with regard to liens against
personal property.
Lien information on any person or
business may be obtained from the UCC
Section upon request. Such information
may be used to determine whether a
lender would be interested in extending
credit to the small business owner to,
for example, provide
capital for purchasing equipment or raw
materials. The small business owner may,
in turn, access the Section's records to
determine whether to extend credit to
customers by taking a security interest
in the finished product to be sold.
Without the services offered by the UCC
Section, the lender or small business
owner might be required to check county
lien records in several counties in
order to get a true financial picture of
the person or business involved in the
potential transaction.
