A personal or director’s guarantee is a commitment to repay credit that is general in nature, rather than stating the security for a particular asset. The person who is signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that the business creditor is unable to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register operated by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR grants priority over personal property to be granted in accordance with the date on which a security interest was registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document lodged to provide the public notice of a legal claim against a property.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
