Obtaining funds for your business when you have your assets in an asset-only entity is more complex than to a stand-alone trading company, and it does make presenting a case to a lender more complicated. Simply, this is what you will need to do before applying for finance:
The accounts of the asset-only entity and the trading business will need to be assessed on a consolidated basis before they can be presented to a potential lender.
The guarantee structure between the trading business and the asset-only entity needs to be clearly identified. A lender will almost certainly want this guarantee to link the trading cash flows to the repayment of the lending.
All assets owned by the asset-only entity must be registered correctly on the PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register).
The business partners at Finance New Zealand are well versed in working with asset-only entities and presenting companies that utilise this structure to various funders to obtain finance solutions. Talk to us if you have funding requirements and utilise an asset-only entity and we will do what we can to make the process easier for you.

Navigating property finance with lower CVs? We can show how to navigate the changing market and position your lending for better outcomes.
With capital values softening across parts of New Zealand, many borrowers are finding that lower CVs can impact how much they can borrow — especially when property is being used as security. While CVs don’t directly set lending limits, they influence how lenders assess risk and scale your available equity. At Finance New Zealand, we help clients navigate these challenges by working with multiple lenders, using alternative forms of security, and structuring finance that supports long-term growth — even in a tighter lending environment.
