A personal or director’s guarantee is a promise to repay a loan which is general in nature, rather than defining the security of a specific asset. The person signing the guarantee is personally liable if the business creditor 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 records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR permits priority over personal property to be assigned in accordance with the date on which a security interest has been registered.

The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
