Source: UCC financing statements published as open data by the Connecticut Secretary of the State and loaded every morning, with collateral read from each filing's document. Last updated November 11, 2026. Counts cover businesses' equipment filings only: consumer solar, tool accounts, liens on injury claims and filings against people or sole proprietors are left out. “Active” means not terminated or lapsed. “Likely ending” means a 36, 48 or 60 month term from the filing date ends within six months; the filing itself doesn't state the term. Not a consumer report. How UCC filings work.
