Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs), while providing immediate capital to businesses, come with plenty of challenges, one of many is the filing of UCC liens. Understanding what UCC liens are and why MCA companies file them is crucial for any business owner navigating the complexities of commercial borrowing.
A UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) lien is a legal claim filed by a creditor to secure collateral for a loan or advance. It's akin to a formal declaration that the lender has an interest in the assets of your business until the debt is fully paid. In the context of MCAs, these liens are particularly significant. MCA providers file UCC liens against businesses to safeguard their investment. This is a common practice in the industry, given the unsecured nature of MCAs. By filing a UCC lien, the MCA provider ensures a legal claim to the business's assets in case of default, thereby mitigating their risk.
However, this practice can have unintended consequences for the business owner. Once a UCC lien is filed, it becomes a public record, easily accessible to other creditors and financial institutions. This visibility can lead to an influx of unsolicited communication from other creditors and debt relief companies. These entities, upon noticing the lien, may perceive the business as a potential client for their services or products, often leading to a barrage of marketing calls and offers. This can be overwhelming and distracting for business owners who are already dealing with financial stress.
