Registering charges in the UK

Subject to specified exceptions[1], a UK entity must register non-possessory security (for example, a floating charge) it grants in favour of any creditor at Companies House within 21 days of creating the security, or it will be void on insolvency and against other creditors.

Why? Because it continues to hold onto the secured asset, a third party dealing with it (who might wish to take security over it) needs to know that it is impressed with a security interest. Not so important when the chargee physically holds the asset, since the chargor in that case isn’t free to deal with it.
