A director’s or personal guarantee is a commitment to pay back a loan that is general in nature rather than specifying security over an asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally accountable if the company borrower is unable to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It contains security interests that are registered for personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR allows preference over private property assigned according to the date the security interest has been registered.
Caveats are legal document filed to provide notice of a legal claim on a property.

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises assets they own to get the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
