bfm: the office address is a block of flats
bfm publishes 65 Shearsmith Tower in London. The address is a block of flats, and nothing there connects it to the company.
What the team found
bfm publishes 65 Shearsmith Tower, Cable Street, London, E1 8HU as its office. The address is a block of flats, with no lobby, directory or reception that could lead to an office, and nothing on the premises carried the company's name.
The team recorded an address mismatch. Whatever bfm is, it is not operating from 65 Shearsmith Tower.

One other broker in this set publishes an address on Shearsmith Tower, which is Apex Fiscal Wealth. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
The picture in E1
11 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the E1 postcode district. Across the 10 other visits to E1, the team found nothing 6 times and could not get access 4 times.
Others in the same district include Catalyst Markets Ltd, itexFX and Legalhextrade.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building did not match the address, 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
Address mismatch. The visited location or building information did not match the published broker or entity details.
