These firms are providing financial services or products in the UK without the UK FCA's authorisation. That means you will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and you are unlikely to get your money back if things go wrong.

Checking the license of the broker you are going to trade with is always the first thing you need to do when investing. If you have question about the regulation of a broker, you can ask a question on BrokersView Q&A.
