A personal or director’s ensure is a guarantee to repay a loan which is generally based rather than stipulating the security for a particular asset. The person who is signing the guarantee is personally accountable if the business creditor is unable to re-pay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online registry run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR grants priority over personal property to be assigned depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.
The caveat can be described as a formal document that is filed to offer notice of a legal claim against a property.
