Asset security is required for accessing funds over $150,000. It’s in the form of a charge against assets, and may include registering this on the PPSR or making as a caveat.
A personal or director’s ensure is a guarantee to repay credit that is general in nature rather than stating security over an asset. The person who is signing the ensure is personally accountable if the business creditor is unable to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including objects or assets). The PPSR permits 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 document filed to offer the public notice of a legal claim against a property.
