A director’s or personal ensure is a commitment to repay a loan which is general in nature, rather than specifying the security of a specific asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally liable in the event that the business the borrower fails to pay back the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR grants prioritisation over property that is personal to be granted depending on the date that a security interest was registered.
A caveat is a legal document lodged to offer an official notice of a claim on a property.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
