Secured Transactions

Almost every business transaction is a secured transaction involving the grant of a security interest in property as collateral for the payment of some obligation. Security interests are critical to making many deals work. Lenders and sellers are often more likely to extend credit to borrowers and purchasers when they can be assured of first rights to collateral in the event of default.
