ADSS: no way in at 9th Floor 125 Old Broad Street
ADSS publishes 9th Floor 125 Old Broad Street in the City of London. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
ADSS publishes 9th Floor 125 Old Broad Street London EC2N 1AR as its office. The address is in the City of London. There was no signage for the company on the building, and the team could not get past the entrance to check a directory or speak to reception.
Because the team could not get inside, the visit is recorded as restricted rather than as proof that the company is absent. Nothing visible from the street connects ADSS to the address.

Who else uses this address
4 other brokers in this set publish an address on Old Broad Street. In a large commercial building that is unremarkable, though it is worth knowing when you are comparing firms that look unconnected.
Across the 4 other visits to that address, the team confirmed an office once and found nothing 3 times. Among them are InfiveTrade, SURETRADEGROUP and telarax.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
What the published address commits to
ADSS publishes a floor and a room rather than only a building, which is the more checkable kind of address: it can be walked to and either holds the company or does not.
The picture in EC2N
29 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC2N postcode district. Across the 28 other visits to EC2N, the team confirmed an office twice, found nothing 16 times and could not get access 10 times.
Others in the same district include Alpha Wealth Expertise, ATC BROKERS and AXIMORA.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
What this outcome means
Access restricted. Building or security restrictions prevented the researcher from completing the planned checks.
A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
