In short
A filing that modifies or terminates an existing UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) financing statement. It's used to update collateral, assign a lien, or release a lien.
Before closing your SBA 7(a) loan, you'll need UCC amendments to terminate any existing liens on the business's assets from the seller's creditors. This ensures your SBA lender gets a first-priority lien position. Verify all amendments are properly filed.
