A director’s or personal guarantee is a commitment to repay credit that is generally based rather than stipulating security over a particular asset. The person who signs the guarantee is personally responsible if the business borrower is unable to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR grants preference over private property assigned in accordance with the date on which a security interest was registered.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses assets they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
