Filed a UCC-1 to perfect a security interest and now need to keep it alive, change it, hand it off or end it? PaperKit drafts the exact UCC-3 statement the secured party files against the original financing statement. Pick the filing-lifecycle action — a continuation (continue the UCC-1's effectiveness for another five years; must be filed in the six months before it lapses — PaperKit computes the lapse year from the original filing year and the new continued-through year), an amendment (change what's on file — add, delete or restate the collateral, or change a debtor/secured-party name or address), an assignment (assign your rights and power as secured party to an assignee), or a termination (the financing statement is no longer effective — the Article-9 close-out). For an amendment, choose whether you're adding, deleting or restating collateral, and PaperKit builds the change section (with a debtor-authorization recital where UCC § 9-509 requires it to add collateral). Recite the UCC-1 file number, filing office and date, set the collateral, and PaperKit assembles the whole statement with an authorization-to-file direction to the filing office. Unlike most docs, the SECURED PARTY is the one who executes and e-signs it — a one-party filing certificate that maintains the whole UCC / Article-9 branch. Hosted online for the secured party to review & e-sign. Clean PDF.
The big lever — a filing-lifecycle action that decides the operative language, which reference fields it recites, and the document title.
Continuation: continues the effectiveness of the UCC-1 for another five years. Must be filed in the six months before it lapses (UCC § 9-515(d)). Set the original filing year and PaperKit computes the lapse year and the continued-through year.
A real, section-by-section UCC-3 statement. The statement-type choice drives the operative language and which reference numbers it recites; a continuation computes the lapse year and continued-through year. Publish to get a hosted link the secured party can e-execute online.

A UCC-3 statement is a template for convenience, not legal advice. A UCC-3 financing statement amendment (continuation / amendment / assignment / termination) maintains a UCC-1 financing statement of record; to be effective it must generally be authorized by the secured party of record (and, where collateral is added, by the debtor under UCC § 9-509), completed on the correct UCC form, and filed with the correct UCC filing office within the required time limits — a continuation must be filed within the six months before lapse (UCC § 9-515(d)). PaperKit is not a law firm. Review the statement and consult a qualified attorney.
