A personal or director’s guarantee is a promise to pay back a loan that is generally based rather than stipulating the security of a specific asset. The person who is signing the ensure is personally liable if the business borrower is unable to repay the debt.
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a central, national online register operated by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests that are registered for personal property (including the assets or goods). The PPSR allows prioritisation over property that is personal 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 provide an official notice of a claim against a property.
