The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR gives preference over private property granted depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
