ABOUT US

At Preborrows.com, we’re redefining how the financial industry handles short selling and securities lending. Our mission is simple: to bring clarity, control, and compliance to a space that’s often opaque and outdated.

Founded by a team of Wall Street veterans, technologists, and market structure experts, LocBox was created in response to a growing need for transparency in the locate and pre-borrow process. While most platforms lump these two critical components together, LocBox is the only technology solution that clearly distinguishes between standard locates and true pre-borrows — giving firms the tools they need to meet modern regulatory expectations and reduce systemic risk.

We believe that the future of financial markets will demand more than just speed and efficiency. It will demand accountability, auditability, and precision — especially when it comes to short selling. Our platform is built to serve broker-dealers, clearing firms, and institutional traders who understand that compliance and operational integrity are now strategic advantages.

LocBox makes it easy to document, track, and manage pre-borrow activity in real time. Whether you're preparing for a tighter regulatory environment or proactively seeking to eliminate settlement failures, our technology ensures you stay ahead of the curve. With seamless integration, automated controls, and detailed reporting, we help you eliminate ambiguity in your operations — and replace it with confidence.

Our leadership team has decades of experience in securities lending, market making, brokerage operations, and trading technology. That experience, paired with a relentless focus on user experience and regulatory alignment, drives everything we build.

We’re proud to support firms that want to operate with integrity — the firms that understand market structure is evolving and want to be on the right side of that change. As calls grow louder for reform around short sale abuses and fails-to-deliver, LocBox offers a ready-made solution that anticipates tomorrow’s rules, today.

Transparency is not just a feature. It's our foundation.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Whether you’re here because you’re navigating compliance, enhancing your securities lending business, or simply exploring smarter ways to trade — welcome. We’re glad you found us, and we’re ready to help.
