Asset security is required for accessing funds over $150,000. It’s in the form of a charge against assets, and may include registration through the PPSR or filing a caveat.
A personal or director’s ensure is a commitment to repay credit that is general in nature, rather than stipulating security over an asset. The person signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that the company borrower is unable to pay back the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central registry run by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been granted to individuals who own personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR gives preference over private property assigned according to the date a security interest has been registered.
Caveats are legal document lodged to offer notice of a legal claim to a property.

When you’re applying for an enterprise loan of $250K or more it is possible to offer a preliminary pre-approval to help smooth out the process. It is possible to apply for this without credit checks and within 6 hours of your initial application. The pre-approval process is based on an initial evaluation that involves you answering some financial well-being checks. It’s in no way an offer, nor is it a guarantee of financing. Acceptance without condition is subject to an exhaustive credit evaluation, and any offer you receive could be subject to different conditions.
