A director’s or personal guarantee is a promise to pay back a loan that is general in nature, rather than specifying the security of a specific asset. The person who is signing the guarantee is personally liable in the event that the business lender is not able to make the repayment.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR gives priority over personal property to be granted according to the date the security interest was registered.
A caveat is a legal document filed to offer an official notice of a claim to a property.
