Protect Every Acre You Finance.

Minnesota-based, serving ag lenders nationwide since 1990.

Who We Help

Ag lenders and their counsel use Capitol Lien to confirm who holds a claim before they lend and to keep their own liens perfected for the life of the loan.

What We Do for Ag Lending

• UCC searches before you lend. See what is already filed against a borrower, including filings on equipment, livestock and crops.
• Never miss a continuation. UCC filings lapse after five years. Our monitoring flags every date so your position stays protected.
• Farmland title and property searches. Real estate and abstract research to support land-secured loans.
• Good standing checks on farm LLCs. Plus tax lien and judgment searches on borrowers and guarantors.
• Reach across state lines. For borrowers who farm in more than one state: filing and search across the US, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Canada.

Use Database Direct to manage nationwide UCC filings and state-level UCC and tax lien searches yourself, or let our team handle it. No contracts, no subscriptions, no monthly fees. You save money, and a real person reviews every filing before it is filed.
