It contains security interests that are registered for personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR permits prioritisation over property that is personal to be assigned in accordance with the date on which a security interest was registered.

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
