Floating charge
A mortgage, debenture or other security documentation, is likely to create charges over particular assets as security for borrowings or other indebtedness.

Individual items move into and out of the charge as they are bought and sold in the ordinary course of events. The floating charge crystallises if there is a default or similar event. At that stage the floating charge is converted to a fixed charge over the assets which it covers at that time. A floating charge is not as effective as a fixed charge but is more flexible.
