A debtor is a company or individual who owes money. If the debt is in the form of a loan from a financial institution, the debtor is referred to as a borrower, and if the debt is in the form of securities—such as bonds—the debtor is referred to as an issuer.
The borrower or buyer is known as the debtor, and the lender or seller is known as the creditor, and more specifically the secured party. Two simple examples of secured transactions are: (1) a bank loaning a business money so it can buy inventory; and (2) a company selling a business equipment on credit.
An unperfected lien is a lien that was not filed legally or correctly by a lender. This is important, as a perfected lien is accorded priority over an unperfected lien.
(2) A perfected security interest or agricultural lien has priority over a conflicting unperfected security interest or agricultural lien. (3) The first security interest or agricultural lien to attach or become effective has priority if conflicting security interests and agricultural liens are unperfected.

The buyer in ordinary course of business ("BIOCOB"), usually takes free of even perfected security interests.
