YCM Invest: a serviced address at 10-12 Winsley Street
YCM Invest publishes 10-12 Winsley Street in London, which is a serviced office address rather than a floor of its own.
What the team found
YCM Invest publishes 10-12 Winsley Street, London, England as its office. Nothing outside carried the company's name, and the floor the address points to is a shared or serviced office suite rather than a floor the company occupies itself.
A serviced address is not evidence of anything dishonest, and it is not evidence of an office either. It is a registered address and a desk that any number of companies can hold at once, so it tells a client nothing about whether YCM Invest has staff there.

Who else uses this address
One other broker in this set publishes an address on Winsley Street, which is CSI. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
What London looks like across the set
London accounts for 765 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 764 other visits to the city, the team confirmed an office 43 times, found nothing 373 times and could not get access 348 times.
The reports either side of this one in London are YingLun, Zee Capitals and Zeus international, and reading two or three together is usually more telling than any single visit.
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.
