Step 2

Search for the Uniform Commercial Code financing statement of the used manufacturing equipment. Use the online UCC search tool available on the Coordinated Legal Technologies website and check the jurisdictions where the manufacturing equipment is located. UCC filings are used by commercial banks to notify the public that the equipment is subject to a lien. There are several types of UCCs, including original financing statement. Check each filing to see which type of UCC it is and read the description of property on the UCC to see if the equipment you are researching is listed on the statement. If the equipment is listed on a UCC-1 original financing statement and is not removed by amendment or termination, then there is an existing lien on the manufacturing equipment.

Step 3

Check for notices of liens that might have be filed against the owner or holder of the manufacturing equipment at the clerk of courts in the county where the equipment is located. Tax liens, judgments and mechanics' liens are filed against debtor's in the county where property is located, Check the records using the name and address of the equipment holder (or in the case of a company, the county of its headquarters). If you find a lien with the debtor's name, you must still verify whether the equipment you are researching is attached to the lien, which only can be done by checking a description of the property against which the lien is filed.

Step 4

Buy a lien search online or hire an attorney to carry out a search. Online companies like Intelius offer lien search services. Attorneys with expertise in collections and judgments will know how to uncover any liens and encumbrances against the manufacturing equipment you are researching.
