Just want to confirm - you said your deadline is March, right? You should have plenty of time to do the amendment and continuation as long as you start the process soon. Don't stress too much about the timeline.
Totally understand the nervousness with a $2.8M loan. But you're being proactive by addressing it now instead of waiting until February.
Agreed, starting in January gives you plenty of buffer time. Even if there are any other unexpected issues, you have weeks to resolve them.
For what it's worth, I've seen way worse debtor name mismatches than just a comma. Nevada once rejected our filing because of a space difference - 'ABC Corp' vs 'ABCCorp'. At least your issue is obvious punctuation that's easy to fix with an amendment.
Right? Nevada's system is extremely literal. No fuzzy matching or common sense built in whatsoever.

•This is why I always tell people to triple-check the exact debtor name format before filing anything in Nevada. Save yourself the headache.

Been there with the multi-state confusion. The business location vs formation state thing trips up a lot of people. Delaware is definitely correct for your filing, but as others mentioned, get that name match perfect or Delaware will reject it too.
Lesson learned. I should have researched the jurisdiction rules before filing anywhere.

•We all learn these things the hard way unfortunately. At least you caught it early in the process.
One more thing - when you refile in Delaware, make sure to include the rejection reason and corrected filing location in your loan file documentation. Your compliance team will thank you later.
It helps if you ever get audited or need to explain the filing timeline to anyone.

•This is why I always run my documents through Certana.ai before filing - it catches these jurisdiction and name issues upfront so there's no need for corrections later.

UPDATE: Got the new UCC-1 filed with the correct entity name and it was accepted! Thank you everyone for the advice. The client was understanding once I explained the name change issue. Definitely going to be more careful about entity verification going forward.
Great news! How long did it take for the acceptance notice?
Glad it worked out! Always nerve-wracking when you're dealing with big loan amounts and tight deadlines.
This thread is super helpful. I'm bookmarking it for future reference. I file UCCs in Florida regularly and the debtor name issue trips me up sometimes, especially with entities that have multiple doing-business-as names.
Same here. The DBA vs legal name confusion gets me every time. Always safer to use the official registered name.
Pro tip: keep a spreadsheet of your regular clients with their current legal names and last verification date. Saves time and prevents mistakes.

I use Certana.ai for exactly this type of verification. Upload your borrower's articles and your UCC-1 draft and it instantly flags any name discrepancies. Saved me from several potential filing rejections by catching small differences I would have missed manually.

•How accurate is that tool? Does it handle all the weird state-specific name formatting rules?
Ella Harper
•It's been very reliable for me. Catches things like missing commas, wrong entity suffixes, extra spaces that could cause problems. Much more thorough than trying to manually compare documents.
Update us on what you find when you check their actual registered name! I'm curious if Colorado's search is just being weird or if there's actually a name discrepancy. This kind of thing always makes me nervous until it's resolved.
Jason Brewer
•Will do! Planning to pull their current certificate of good standing tomorrow morning and then run the search again with whatever name format they show.
Owen Devar
•Smart move. Better to spend the extra time upfront than deal with a rejected filing and potential lien priority issues later.

Pro tip: Always copy and paste the exact entity name from the state database instead of typing it manually. Eliminates most name mismatch issues. Arizona is particularly strict but other states are getting pickier too.

•This is the best advice. Manual typing is how these errors happen. Copy/paste eliminates the risk.

•Agreed. I've started doing this for all my filings regardless of state. Better safe than sorry.

Update us when you refile. Curious to see if the comma was actually the issue or if there's something else causing the rejection. Arizona can be tricky with hidden formatting issues too.

•Will do. Refiling this afternoon with the exact name from the ACC database including the comma. Keeping my fingers crossed.

•Good luck! Arizona rejections are stressful but fixable if you get the name exactly right.
