The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR gives prioritisation over property that is personal to be assigned according to the date the security interest that is registered.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.

For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
