Security interests on the PPSR are only valid for up to seven years. If you registered in 2011 when the PPSR commenced, your registrations will be due for renewal from 30 January 2019. Speak to us to work out how to renew your existing registrations to ensure your security interests remain protected.
>register nowThe Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) was introduced to Australia in 2011 to provide legal protection to businesses that hire, lease or rent goods on credit, or sell goods under retention of title clauses. Note: Personal property is all forms of property other than real estate.
To be protected you must have a valid registration on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). Whilst many businesses are registering on the PPSR, the process can be complicated and simple errors can be made which can invalidate their registration. This means in the event their customer goes into liquidation, they may become an unsecured creditor, unable to recover their debts.
Without adequate protection, you may be considered an unsecured creditor. So when a customer goes bust, you have significantly less chance of recovering your debts.

Just because you own an asset, doesn’t mean it’s yours to keep. If your business hires or loans equipment to third parties and you don’t comply with the PPSA, you have little protection over your equipment should your customer go broke. The collapse of Kentor Minerals proves spectacularly how security interest now beats legal title.
