A director’s or personal ensure is a promise to repay credit that is general in nature rather than stipulating security over an asset. The person who is signing the guarantee is personally liable if the company the borrower fails to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR grants prioritisation over property that is personal to be granted depending on the date that a security interest was registered.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
