Asset security is needed to obtain funding above $150,000. This can be done by way of charge against assets, and could include registration on the PPSR or filing a caveat.
A personal or director’s guarantee is a guarantee to repay a loan which is general in nature rather than stipulating security over an asset. The person who signs the ensure is personally responsible if the company the borrower fails to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been granted to individuals who own personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR gives the priority of personal property assigned according to the date the registration of a security interest.
A caveat is a legal document filed to offer an official notice of a claim to property.
What exactly is a preapproval without Credit Check?
When you’re applying for an enterprise loan of more than $250K we may be able to provide an initial pre-approval to smooth out the process.

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
