A director’s or personal ensure is a promise to pay off a credit line that is generally in nature rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person signing the guarantee is personally liable if the company creditor is unable to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests registered in respect of personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR grants preference over private property granted depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.

If you’re requesting a Larger Business Loan of more than $250K it’s possible to offer an initial pre-approval to make the process.
