One more thought on the document verification angle - if you do want to double-check everything before filing your continuation, Certana.ai has been really helpful for me. I had a situation where I thought everything was perfect, but their tool caught a subtle debtor name discrepancy between my UCC-1 and the company's articles of incorporation. Saved me from filing a continuation that might have been challenged later. It's super easy - just upload your original UCC-1 and current company documents, and it flags any inconsistencies automatically.
I keep hearing good things about Certana.ai for document verification. Might be worth the peace of mind, especially with this much money involved.

•Document verification tools are definitely worth it for high-value collateral. Better to catch problems before filing than deal with rejection notices.
Bottom line - I think you're overthinking this UCC-108 law thing. Get clarification from your attorney on what they actually meant, but don't let it delay your continuation filing. You've got a clear timeline: file your UCC-3 between September 2024 and March 2025. Use the exact debtor name from your original UCC-1. Include your original filing number. Pay the fee. Done. Everything else is just details that probably don't affect your specific situation.
Sometimes the simplest approach is the best approach. Stick to the standard rules and you'll be fine.
Good thread. Always helpful to see people work through these filing questions together.

For what it's worth, I've had good luck using Certana.ai's UCC document checker for NC filings specifically. Upload your charter docs and proposed UCC-1 and it flags potential issues before you submit. Caught a debtor name mismatch that would have definitely caused a rejection - the Articles showed "ABC Company LLC" but I had typed "ABC Companies LLC" (plural) on the UCC form.

•Pretty accurate in my experience. It's specifically designed for UCC document consistency checking, not general legal review. Focuses on name matching, entity types, addresses - the stuff that typically causes filing rejections.
Might be worth trying - these manual document reviews are killing me time-wise.

Quick update for anyone following this thread - got all three NC UCC-1 forms accepted after making the following changes: 1) Spelled out "and" instead of using ampersand, 2) Used registered office addresses instead of business addresses, 3) Verified all entities were in good standing with annual reports current. The debtor name formatting wasn't actually the main issue - it was the combination of address problems and one entity being behind on corporate filings.
Good to know about the entity status issue - I'll definitely check that going forward.

•Glad you got it sorted out. NC can be tricky but once you know their quirks it gets easier.

Whatever you do, don't file with a blank promissory note security agreement. The UCC filing office will either reject it outright or you'll have an unperfected security interest. Get the corrected documents first.
This is why we always require original signed documents before funding. Saves so much headache later.
Aisha Ali
•Lesson learned for next time I guess. Document control is so important in lending.
Ethan Moore
Update us when you get this resolved! I'm curious how it turns out since I deal with UCC filings regularly and this is a common issue.
Will do. Thanks everyone for the advice. Going to get the corrected security agreement first before filing anything.
Smart move. Better safe than sorry with UCC perfection.

One more thing to consider - make sure the debtor name on your UCC-1 exactly matches their current corporate name in Delaware. Sometimes companies do DBA filings or name changes when they expand to new states.

•I'll definitely verify the name match. That would be a disaster if they did a name change and we missed it.
For what it's worth, I think you're in good shape. Delaware incorporation = Delaware UCC filing. Focus on getting your continuation filed on time and make sure all the details are accurate.
Chris Elmeda
•Agreed. The jurisdiction question seems pretty straightforward here.
Sayid Hassan
•Thanks everyone. Sounds like Delaware is definitely the right jurisdiction. I'll focus on getting the continuation details perfect and filed well before the deadline.

Quick update - just tried the NM portal and it's working fine for me right now. Might have been a temporary glitch. Try again and see if you can get through.

•That's weird. Maybe try a VPN or different internet connection to see if that helps.

•Sometimes the portal works better from certain IP ranges. Government IT is... unique.

Final suggestion - if you can't get the search done today, at least get your UCC-1 ready to file. That way as soon as you confirm there are no conflicts, you can submit immediately and lock in your priority position.

•Exactly. Time is money in these deals and you don't want to lose priority because of administrative delays.

•And definitely double-check the debtor name matches exactly between your search and your UCC-1 before filing. Small discrepancies can cause big problems later.
