Business Glossary
By properly filing a financing statement at the state and/or local jurisdiction, the security interest of the secured party is perfected. The document contains the names and addresses of the debtor and the secured party along with a description of the collateral (security interest). A financing statement is proof of a security interest in personal property whereas a deed, properly recorded at a County Recorders Office, is proof of ownership for real property (land and buildings).
In the D&B Business Information and Comprehensive Insight Plus Reports, the notation that FINANCING is secured means that a companies accounts receivables, inventory and/or other liquid assets have been pledged.
