Abstract
The rest of this book outlines the historical, theoretical and practical elements of the floating charge in Scotland. In this chapter, we explore empirically how important the floating charge is for Scottish companies. Empirical research provides an original¹ method of reviewing the world as we find it. Companies are usually brought into existence by registration at Companies House.² Fixed securities and floating charges created by a company must be registered against that company at Companies House within twenty-one days of their creation to be valid.² The records of Companies House are freely available and ripe for empirical study
