The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It contains security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR gives preference over private property granted depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to make the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
