Manufacturers often overlook a powerful tool when trying to get paid.
The focus is so often on preserving lien and bond rights, but manufacturers may be forgetting about the power of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC can be a faster and more effective collection tool, when used correctly to manage risk. A relatively small investment in a UCC program can yield a huge return.
Lending at all levels within the supply chain requires the use of best practices to be successful. UCC filings, along with notices and mechanic’s liens, can be powerful tools for manufacturers.

Problem #1
Tracking liens is labor intensive
We specialize in credit solutions for businesses supplying products and services. We take care of preparing, serving and filing preliminary notices, liens and bond claims either through an established and thoroughly vetted attorney network or through an in-house program under flat fees. We also provide secure online services and reporting that can be accessed anytime, from anywhere—saving both time and money.
Problem #2
Managing notices, liens and UCCs can be overwhelming
Lending at all levels within the supply chain requires the use of best practices to be successful. The UCC can be a powerful tool, when used correctly, to manage risk. But when not followed correctly, it can result in lost revenue. Our experts know the ins and outs of the process, to ensure it is done correctly, so you can minimize your risk.

- Notice & Lien
After implementing the lien/notice to owner program, we have seen our DSO numbers steadily decline each month, to an average of around 22 days. That is over a 30% improvement in our DSO since we first partnered with NCS.

- Notice & Lien
Echo Group was able to recover $37,000 on a public school project by leveraging the bond claim service provided by NCS. This bond claim gave us additional leverage in negotiating a settlement with the General Contractor that we would not have had otherwise. Regarding the second project, NCS made a bond claim on our behalf and we were recently informed that the surety will be paying Echo Group in full, approximately $61,000.
