Asset security is necessary for funding of more than $150,000. This can be done in the form of a charge on assets, and may include registration through the PPSR or registering a caveat.
A personal or director’s guarantee is a guarantee to pay back a loan that is general in nature rather than defining security over a particular asset. The person who is signing the guarantee is personally responsible if the company the borrower fails to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It lists security interests that are granted to individuals who own personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR gives preference over private property granted according to the date a security interest was registered.
An affidavit is an official document filed to offer an official notice of a claim against a property.

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
