Is the Larger Business Loan one that is secured?
Asset security is required to obtain funding above $150,000. It is usually by way of charge against assets and can include registering this on the PPSR or the registration of a caveat.
A personal or director’s ensure is a guarantee to pay back a loan that is general in nature rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person signing the ensure is personally liable if the business lender is not able to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online, central register that is operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR gives priority over personal property to be assigned in accordance with the date on which a security interest has been registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document that is filed to offer the public notice of a legal claim against a property.

If you’re requesting larger business loans of more than $250K it’s possible to offer an initial pre-approval to simplify the process.

The pre-approval process is based on an initial assessment, which involves you answering a few financial health questions. This is not an offer of credit or guarantee of credit. Acceptance without condition is subject to an extensive credit evaluation and any offer that you receive could be subject to different conditions.

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
