Security Agreement
A legal contract in which a borrower (the debtor) grants a lender (the secured party) a security interest in specific assets (collateral) to secure repayment of a loan or fulfillment of another obligation. If the debtor fails to meet their obligations, the secured party has the right to take possession of and sell the collateral to recover the owed amount.
