It lists security interests that are registered in respect of personal property (including goods or assets). The PPSR permits priority over personal property to be assigned depending on the date that a security interest has been registered.

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
