What is a General Security Agreement (Gsa)?

A security agreement that gives a lender a security interest in a borrower’s present and future personal property assets, often paired with a PPSR registration.

For example, a working capital lender registers a GSA so it has security over the business’s receivables, inventory, and equipment (as defined in the agreement).

Why it matters: It grants the lender a sweeping lien over all current and future assets, severely restricting the business's ability to secure secondary financing.
