A personal or director’s ensure is a commitment to repay credit that is general in nature rather than stating security over a particular asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally liable if the business lender is not able to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register run by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR permits prioritisation over property that is personal to be assigned depending on the date that a security interest was registered.
Caveats are legal document that is filed to offer notice of a legal claim to a property.

What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we require a personal guarantee. need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed.
