Is the Larger Business Loan a secured loan?
Asset security is necessary to access funding over $150,000. It is usually by way of charge on assets, and may include the registration of this in the PPSR or registering a caveat.
A personal or director’s guarantee is a promise to repay credit that is generally in nature rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally liable if the business creditor is unable to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR permits the priority of personal property assigned according to the date the security interest has been registered.
A caveat is a legal document that is filed to offer an official notice of a claim on a property.
What is a pre-approval without Credit Check?
When you’re applying for a Larger Business Loan of $250K or more it’s possible to offer an initial pre-approval that will help make the process. We may be able to get this done without a credit verification and within six hours of your initial application. The pre-approval process is based on an initial assessment, which involves the answer to a series of financial health checks. It’s in no way an offer, nor is it a guarantee of funds. Acceptance without condition is subject to a full credit assessment and any offer you are offered could be on different terms.

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
