Merchant cash advance debt in Ohio

What Ohio publishes about UCC filings and commercial financing, and how to check your own record. Informational only, not legal advice.

Your UCC record in Ohio

Funders file a UCC-1 financing statement with the Ohio Secretary of State UCC Search to put other creditors on notice. Search it by your exact legal business name. Lien position: a UCC filing names a secured party, not who gets paid first.

Levraq does not read the Ohio registry yet, so your report will not list Ohio filings. The Debt Check still measures your remittance ratio, stacking and tier from your own answers.

Commercial financing disclosure in Ohio

Levraq has not recorded a Ohio statute requiring commercial financing providers to disclose cost and terms. Ask a lawyer licensed in Ohio whether one applies to your contract.

Confession of judgment in Ohio

Ohio Revised Code §2323.13(D)–(E): a warrant of attorney to confess judgment is invalid unless the instrument carries the statutory conspicuous warning next to the signature line, and is invalid altogether in consumer transactions. Source, checked 2026-11-04.

Work the numbers

Two calculators that need nothing from any registry: the annualized cost of an advance, and the share of revenue going to remittances. The Debt Check combines both with what you report.

The cash you actually received.

On the contract, e.g. 1.35 means you repay $1.35 per $1.
