It contains security interests registered in respect of personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR allows preference over private property assigned depending on the date that a security interest was registered.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
