Services

We’re looking for a long-term relationship with our clients and are prepared to put the effort in to ensure your first experience is a good one.

We know the ‘first step’ can be daunting so we offer true, value for money Introductory Services, enabling you to make an informed decision on whether to proceed with the PPSA and whether to proceed with PPSAdvisory.

Just contact us for more details. If it involves the PPSA, involve us.

New to the PPSA?

Let us perform our Impact Assessment ($220). We’ll review your business operations and terms of trade and tell you how the PPSA impacts your business.
We’ll identify and assess your level of security (for payment and/or your equipment) and explain how the PPSA works and why it’s important to you. We’ll also provide a cost/benefit analysis of compliance. You can then make an informed decision on whether your business should be tightening its security and complying with the PPSA.

Already complying with the PPSA?

Let us perform our Assurance Review ($220). We’ll review your terms of trade, identify and assess your level of security and perform a detailed review of your existing PPS registrations and your registration policy, identifying any errors or departures from ‘best practice’. If you’re going to the trouble of complying with the PPSA, it makes sense to ensure you’re doing so correctly.

First Meeting

We won’t charge for initial meetings and we come to you. We want to understand you and your business and there’s no better way than to meet face to face (where location allows). We will spend the necessary time and effort to get you to an informed decision point. It’s fine if you choose to walk away (you might refer us to friends/associates) but if you choose to proceed you’ll be engaging with one of the following services.

PPSAdvisory Client Highlights

Services

If it’s got anything at all to do with the PPSA we’ve a service to help you.
Whether you need 1 PPS registration performed or 1,000’s we’ve got you covered.
We’ve advised hundreds of businesses on every aspect of the PPSA and can do the same for you.

Our most popular service is our Managed Service through our PPSAdvisory Membership, where we manage all your PPSA requirements.

If you’re buying or selling a business or refinancing you’ll need our transaction due diligence service.

Managed Services – PPSAdvisory Membership

Outsourcing your PPS hassles to us (our #1 service) makes a lot of sense and ensures your ongoing compliance with the PPSA. There are two levels of Membership.
As a Full Member, we’ll perform all your registration requirements, maintain your registration data and ensure your continued compliance with the Act. We’re on hand to deal with the inevitable PPSA issues you’ll encounter, and we’ll keep you up to date with this ever-changing law and its interpretation by the courts. We even perform a free annual review of your registrations and PPSA policy to ensure your ongoing compliance as well as the PPS registrations performed against your business.
The only difference with a Lite Membership is you’ll perform your PPS registrations but under our guidance and review.

PPSR Registration Software

Managing over 450 Secured Party Groups for our Members would be impossible if we relied on the Government PPS Register (it’s very difficult to manage even one on the PPSR).

Instead of the Government’s portal we use a recently developed software interface which makes registration, search and data management incredibly reliable and efficient.  And we know what we’re talking about, we’ve performed hundreds of thousands of PPSR transactions over the past decade. But registration is the easy step, it’s managing the registrations which can be difficult, not with this software.

As we’re experienced with all the PPSR registration software available in Australia, we chose the best and can offer the same to you at discounted prices. As brokers of the new software we can set you up, train you and support your ongoing compliance with the PPSA.

Consulting Services

Our Consulting Services deal will all and any matters concerning your security and the PPSA, whether you’re trying to get registrations removed, performed, amended, have queries about the PPSA, enforcement of your security, responses to a customer’s insolvency, need to develop your PPS policy, require training for your team, in fact any PPSA related matter, our Consulting Services are your answer.
As we say, if it involves the PPSA, involve us.

Detailed Assurance Reviews

Think you’re complying with the PPSA? Are you really sure? We’ll review your business operations to determine where the PPSA applies and your current registrations to ensure they are correct. We’ll assess your PPS policies and procedures to ensure they are ‘best practice’. We’ll offer corrective solutions to any registration/policy issues and often oversee their implementation. Our Detailed reviews often follow the free high level Desktop Assurance Review.

PPS Registration Services

From the registration of one security interest to the bulk load of 1,000’s. With over 300,000 registrations under our belt already, we know what we’re doing. We’ll establish you on the PPS Register, perform the necessary registrations and provide you with all your registration data.

Transactional Support – PPS due diligence

Having provided PPS due diligence in over $500 million of M&A transactions we’ve got some idea of the impact the PPSA can have on transaction completion. Whether you’re buying or selling a business or involved in refinancing, get us on board, the earlier the better!

PPSAdvisory advises against several proposed revisions to the PPSA legislation due to potential increased costs, complexity, and uncertainty for businesses.

 

On Friday 17 November 2023, PPSAdvisory submitted a detailed response to the proposed amendments in the Personal Property Securities (PPS) framework. They challenge a number of the 345 proposed amendments made in the government’s response to the 2014 Whittaker report.

 

After almost 12 years of implementing the register, PPSAdvisory is concerned that these revisions will burden businesses with additional costs, complexity, and uncertainty instead of providing tangible benefits.

 

Users of the PPSA have adjusted their policies and registration practices to comply with the current legislation. Implementing such significant changes as proposed would require a complete overhaul of policies and practices. Additionally, these proposed amendments would render the policies and practices of many Australian businesses and financiers, particularly those involved in equipment hire, unworkable.

 

As result, the availability of finance for mining, construction, and heavy earthmoving equipment would be directly impacted. If financiers are unable to register their security interest in specific items of equipment (as only equipment with a Vehicle Identification Number can be registered by serial number), obtaining finance for such equipment will

become even more challenging.

 

We now await the response from Government to the submissions which have been made.

 

Feel free to reach out to us via the ‘contact us’ page on the website if you’d like any further information.
