Asset security is necessary for funding of more than $150,000. It’s by way of charge on assets and can include the registration of this in the PPSR or filing as a caveat.
A director’s or personal ensure is a guarantee to repay credit that is generally in nature rather than stating security over a particular asset. The person who is signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that the company borrower is unable to pay back the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR allows preference over private property granted depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document lodged to provide the public notice of a legal claim to property.

If you’re applying for larger business loans that is greater than $250,000 it’s possible to offer an initial pre-approval to simplify the process.

This pre-approval is based on a preliminary assessment which includes answering a couple of financial well-being questions. This is not an offer or guarantee of funds.

In essence, it is means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
