A director’s or personal guarantee is a commitment to pay back a loan that is generally based rather than specifying security over an asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally responsible if the business creditor is unable 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 goods or assets). The PPSR grants priority over personal property to be assigned according to the date the security interest has been registered.

What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.

For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee.
