It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR permits preference over private property 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)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
