The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central register operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests that are registered for personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR gives prioritisation over property that is personal to be granted in accordance with the date on which a security interest has been registered.

How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.

If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed.
