A director’s or personal ensure is a commitment 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 company creditor is unable to pay back the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central register operated by the New Zealand Government. It contains security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR gives prioritisation over property that is personal to be granted according to the date the security interest has been registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal form of document to offer the legal claim to property.

If you’re applying for an enterprise loan of $250K or more it is possible to offer an initial pre-approval in order to smooth out the process.
