Asset security is necessary for accessing funds over $150,000. This is by taking a charge against assets, and could be registered through the PPSR or making a caveat.
A personal or director’s guarantee is a promise to pay off a credit line that is general in nature, rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person signing the guarantee is personally accountable if the business lender is not able to re-pay 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 objects or assets). The PPSR permits priority over personal property to be assigned according to the date the security interest was registered.
A caveat is a legal document lodged to offer an official notice of a claim to property.

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
