Legal Question in Business Law in California

It depends on how the affiliates are held.

California Commercial Code section 9503 provides that although a financing statement may provide the name of more than one debtor, a financing statement sufficiently provides the name of the debtor only if it does so in accordance with the following rules: If the debtor is a registered organization, only if the financing statement provides the name of the debtor indicated on the public record of the debtor's jurisdiction of organization which shows the debtor to have been organized. I am assuming that your "affiliates" and "subsidiaries" are separate registered organizations, and, if unnamed as stated above, would not be subject to the filing. Depending upon the description of the collateral, the holding company's ownership interests in these organizations might be subject to the filing.
