The checks
The checks that decided this outcome, from the visit checklist.

| Building match | Building matched |
| External signage | No relevant signage observed |
| Directory check | Not listed |

What the published address commits to
JB Alpha 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.
What Melbourne looks like across the set
Melbourne accounts for 48 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 47 other visits to the city, the team confirmed an office 3 times, found nothing 6 times and could not get access 38 times.
The reports either side of this one in Melbourne are MHF, MSC and OpenMarkets, and reading two or three together is usually more telling than any single visit.
This report follows the pattern for Melbourne.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside, it was not in the building directory 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
Office not found. The researcher could not identify the broker or relevant entity at the stated address.
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.
