Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PPSA?

The Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) is a law that governs the registration of security interests (liens) on personal property in Canada. Under the PPSA, lenders and creditors can register their interest in a borrower’s assets to protect their rights if the borrower defaults on a loan.

Each province (except Quebec) has its own version of the PPSA.

What is a Lien?

A lien is a legal claim or right against a property or asset, typically used by a creditor to secure a debt. If the borrower fails to repay, the creditor may have the right to seize or sell the asset. In business and lending contexts, liens are often registered on personal property like vehicles, equipment, or inventory.

What is a PPRS Search?

A Personal Property Registry System (PPRS) Search is the actual process of checking a provincial registry for any liens or secured interests under the PPSA. It allows you to see if an individual, business, or specific asset—like a vehicle (by VIN)—has any registered claims against it.

What’s the Difference Between a Lien, PPSA, and PPRS Search?

Term	Meaning	Function
Lien	The legal claim itself placed on an asset.	Protects the lender’s interest in case of default.
PPSA	The law that governs lien registration in Canada (outside Quebec).	Sets the rules and framework for registering liens.
PPRS Search	The process of searching the registry for liens or security interests.	Identifies existing claims on personal property assets.

Can I search for more than one asset or name at once?

Yes, we can conduct multiple searches—just let us know how many you need and we’ll provide separate reports for each.

What happens if a lien is found on the asset?

If a lien exists, the report will include the registration details, parties involved, and the status of the lien. This allows you to investigate further or avoid a risky transaction.
