The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central register operated by the New Zealand Government. It records security interests that have been granted to individuals who own personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR grants preference over private property assigned according to the date a security interest was registered.

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
