GFB TRADING GROUP publishes 40 Gracechurch Street London EC3V 0BT 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
GFB TRADING GROUP publishes 40 Gracechurch Street London EC3V 0BT 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 GFB TRADING GROUP to the address.

Who else uses this address
4 other brokers in this set publish an address on Gracechurch 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 found nothing twice and could not get access twice. Among them are MONOVEX, pepperstone and CFI.
This visit ended the same way as most of the others, which is what makes the address worth noting rather than this broker in particular.
The picture in EC3V
20 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC3V postcode district. Across the 19 other visits to EC3V, the team found nothing 7 times and could not get access 12 times.
Others in the same district include He Cheng, IceCity and ICM.com.
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.
