(movable property), not real property (immovable property). It allows a creditor to notify other creditors about a debtor’s assets
used as collateral for a secured transaction by filing a public notice
(financing statement) with a particular filing office. The Uniform Commercial Code Bureau files and maintains on financial
obligations (including IRS liens) incurred by individuals (in business as a
