Asset security is necessary to access funding over $150,000. It is usually by way of charge over assets, and could include registering this on the PPSR or registering a caveat.
A director’s or personal ensure is a promise to pay off a credit line that is generally based rather than stating security over a particular asset. The person signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that the company 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 contains security interests registered in respect of personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR permits prioritisation over property that is personal to be assigned depending on the date that a security interest was registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document lodged to offer the public notice of a legal claim against a property.

If you’re seeking an enterprise loan that exceeds $250,000, we may offer a preliminary pre-approval to help smooth out the process.

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
