It lists security interests that are granted to individuals who own personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR gives preference over private property assigned in accordance with the date on which a security interest has been registered.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises assets they own to make the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee.
