A personal or director’s ensure is a guarantee to repay credit that is generally in nature rather than stating the security for a particular asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally responsible if the business borrower is unable to make the repayment.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It lists security interests that are granted to individuals who own personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR allows preference over private property assigned according to the date the security interest was registered.
A caveat is a legal form of document to provide notice of a legal claim on a property.

If you’re requesting the Larger Business Loan that exceeds $250,000 we can offer an initial pre-approval that will help simplify the process.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from assets they own to make the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
