Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
This is a legal claim by the lender on all the business's assets, rather than just specific ones. It gives the lender broad security over the business's property.
When you get an SBA loan, the lender will typically file a UCC-1 financing statement, creating a blanket lien on all business assets. This means if you default, they can seize any and all business property to satisfy the debt.
