Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPSA registration, and why is it important?
A PPSA registration records a lender’s or creditor’s security interest in personal property, ensuring priority and legal enforceability in case of borrower default.
What types of assets can be registered under the PPSA?
Inventory, equipment, vehicles, accounts receivable, machinery, and most forms of movable personal property can be secured under the PPSA.
What is a Bank Act registration?
This registration allows banks to secure interests in certain types of borrower assets under Section 427 of the Bank Act, offering enhanced priority and legal protection.
Do all lenders or financial institutions need Bank Act registrations?
Only federally chartered banks can use Bank Act security. Other lenders typically use PPSA registrations.
How long does a PPSA registration last?
Duration varies—registrations can be short-term, long-term, or perpetual, depending on the financing statement filed.
What is the difference between a PPSA registration and a real estate registration?
PPSA applies to personal property, while real estate registrations apply to land, buildings, and immovable assets.
Can you handle both registrations and searches?
Yes. We conduct all due diligence searches and complete all required registrations to ensure accuracy and compliance.
What happens if a registration is done incorrectly?
Errors can invalidate the security interest, cause loss of priority, or make enforcement difficult—making legal oversight crucial.
