PPSR business guide now live

Friday the 13th turned out to be a lucky day for AFSA as we successfully launched our brand new publication―the PPSR business guide, titled ‘Are you in business?’.

The PPSR business guide has been developed to introduce the small and medium enterprise (SME) business sector to the Personal Property Securities Act; to help raise awareness of the practical implications of the law and to explain how they might benefit from using the register.

The guide will also support business advisers, such as accountants, financial advisers, lawyers, business advisory services and peak industry and professional bodies. These are trusted advisers of the SME sector and are in a prime position to provide information on how the register can be used to manage risk—and access secured credit by using their collateral.

It has taken some time to produce the guide. Presenting complex and technical information in plain English, while remaining true to the legislation and without comprising accuracy—is easier said than done! So many thanks go to Associate Professor David Brown from the University of Adelaide, who assisted us in developing content for the guide.

We are very pleased to be able to offer SMEs this comprehensive new resource.
