Asset security is needed to access funding over $150,000. It is usually by way of charge on assets, and may include registering this in the PPSR or making a caveat.

A personal or director’s ensure is a promise to pay off a credit line that is general in nature rather than defining the security for a particular asset. The person signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that the business creditor is unable to pay back the debt.

The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register run by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR allows prioritisation over property that is personal to be assigned according to the date the security interest was registered.

A caveat is a legal document lodged 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 a business owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.

The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.

Do I need security to get a company loan?

For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
