A director’s or personal guarantee is a commitment to repay credit that is generally based rather than stipulating security over an asset. The person signing the guarantee is personally responsible if the company the borrower fails to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central register operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR grants the priority of personal property granted depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document filed to offer the legal claim to property.

If you’re applying for an enterprise loan that exceeds $250K we can offer a preliminary pre-approval to help make the process.

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
