Is the Larger Business Loan one that is secured?
Asset security is required for accessing funds over $150,000. This is by taking a charge on assets, and could include registration in the PPSR or the registration of a caveat.
A director’s or personal ensure is a promise to pay off a credit line that is generally based rather than defining the security of a specific asset. The person who is signing the ensure is personally liable in the event that 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 lists security interests that are registered in respect of personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR permits priority over personal property to be assigned depending on the date that a security interest was registered.
A caveat is a legal document lodged to offer the legal claim to a property.
What exactly is a preapproval without Credit Check?
When you’re applying for larger business loans of more than $250K, we may offer an initial pre-approval that will help simplify the process. We could be able to do this without a credit check, and within 6 hours of your initial application. This pre-approval is based on an initial evaluation that involves the answer to a series of financial well-being checks. It is not an offer of credit or guarantee of credit. Acceptance without condition is subject to an exhaustive credit evaluation, and any offer you may receive may have different conditions.

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses an asset they own to get a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) Asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
