AJ Discala On Maximizing Productivity and Minimizing Office Conflict

Most of us spend the bulk of our waking hours in an office environment. “You’ve got to do your best to make the most of it,” says AJ Discala. “I expect a lot from my employees and colleagues, and I rely on the people I work with to tell me what they need from me and management to meet our expectations.”

One of the ways to do this is learning how to communicate with your employer in ways that increase your productivity and, when necessary, make the workplace less toxic. For example, when many of his employees commented that they were uncertain about their core job responsibilities, AJ Discala encouraged a company-wide practice of hours tracking. He also ensured that a board member was available to discuss work load and job satisfaction with each employee on a regular basis.

The Broadsmoore Group is in the unusual circumstance of having three families working in the same office, which provides its own unique set of challenges and rewards. “Every day, we learn from each other how to manage our shifting relationships and responsibilities,” says AJ Discala. “At the end of the day, we know we still have to sit at the Thanksgiving table together. So pick your battles carefully and treat each other kindly.”

Managing Partner AJ Discala Describes Broadsmoore’s Merchant Banking Options for Small-scale Cap Corporations

AJ Discala due diligence

The world economic crisis that started in 2008 has left an environment where there is incredibly small progress capital available to feasible corporations. Abraxas J. Discala founded The Broadsmoore Group to be certain that often missed quality companies are provided with the financial resources they need to achieve sustainable and lasting results.

Access to previous avenues for procuring capital is either no more available to small-scale cap organisations, or it is simply offered at unsavory terms. Regardless of the Fed keeping interest rates at historic lows, the banks are not rushing to make new loans.  Private Equity Funds, which may have some funds available, are allocating to their pre-existing portfolio corporations, instead of building new investments.  Investment Capital, which once came at “Vulture Capital” prices when capital was flowing inside the system, has also dried up. The Broadsmoore Group provides a exclusive, powerful and lasting solution.

The Broadsmoore Group operates on the fact that the most important component to success is to aid a safe and clear investment decision from the very beginning through providing in-depth due diligence and full understanding to all parties in every deal.

An APO is simply an alternative means to getting a private company to public.

With The Broadsmoore Group, each transaction receives the determination of a hand-selected group of skilled professionals with proven track records as well as the common goal to aid each partner firm succeed.  This targeted and accessible network of specialists possess a wide range of knowledge besides conventional finance and merchant banking; The Broadsmoore Group teams consist of experts in procedures, commercial infrastructure and management systems, real estate, marketing and cyber security.

The Broadsmoore Group Contributes $100,000 to the To Be Giving Foundation's Humanitarian Initiatives

The Broadsmoore Group (“Broadsmoore”), a privately held investment advisory and merchant banking firm, today announced its first contribution to the To Be Giving Foundation, a charitable arm of Broadsmoore committed to supporting humanitarian initiatives and non-profit organizations that are aligned with the firm's core values. The foundation is co-directed by Broadsmoore president David Ring and chairman Joseph Di Scala, and co-chaired by Broadsmoore's chief executive officer, Abraxas Discala, and chairman of the board, Michael Ring.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 09, 2011

The Broadsmoore Group (“Broadsmoore”), a privately held investment advisory and merchant banking firm, today announced its first contribution to the To Be Giving Foundation, a charitable arm of Broadsmoore committed to supporting humanitarian initiatives and non-profit organizations that are aligned with the firm's core values. The foundation is co-directed by Broadsmoore president David Ring and chairman Joseph Di Scala, and co-chaired by Broadsmoore's chief executive officer, Abraxas Discala, and chairman of the board, Michael Ring.

Broadsmoore's initial $100,000 donation is the first investment in To Be Giving's multi-tiered approach to philanthropy. The foundation focuses on capacity building through creating jobs, education and training and will invest in each of the communities where Broadsmoore has offices – New York, NY, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, LA, Huntingdon Valley, PA and San Diego, CA.

“As Broadsmoore drives significant financial return through private transactions and investments in the public market, we are able to direct a portion of our attention and profit to our philanthropic endeavors,” says To Be Giving co-chair and Broadsmoore CEO Abraxas Discala. “Especially at this difficult time in our country's history, To Be Giving aims to support community leaders who have a vision and passion for execution, but who lack the resources necessary to sustain their charitable initiatives. This first $100,000 donation is part of our ongoing commitment to uphold civic leaders, providing them with resources – from money to mentorship – that allow them to be giving more to their communities, particularly in regions recovering from the catastrophic damage of floods and tornadoes this year.”

The Broadsmoore Group has committed to contribute 10 percent of its annual net profits towards To Be Giving. Serving as a positive influence in the communities where Broadsmoore operates, To Be Giving will provide a springboard to opportunity, achievement and development. The Foundation also welcomes additional donations, which enable individuals and organizations to support meaningful causes with confidence; one hundred percent of outside donations will be directed to the selected charities.

“We see this as a centerpiece of the Broadmoore legacy,” says To Be Giving co-chair Michael Ring. “As many of the regions of our country enter a period of rebuilding in the wake of floods and tornadoes, To Be Giving aims to help and inspire small business and charitable organizations to collaborate and address the problems facing their communities.”

The Broadsmoore Group CEO has the Best Ideas to Boost Investor Confidence

Shareholder confidence is one of the most important factors that affect the stock price of a business. If after spending time and money to buy stock, investors feel that the company’s management (and therefore stock price) is not living up to their expectation, investors will then move away from the company to invest in another company. This is the reason why it is important to instill and maintain the confidence of the shareholders of a company.

Sound investment principles along with proper fraud protection are the best way to maintain investor confidence.  Prior to any transaction, all potential clients, counter parties and entities should be thoroughly vetted and subject to in-depth due diligence and risk analysis. This sets forth a healthy and sustainable financial environment where the investors can easily invest and share in the profitability of the company.  

AJ Discala, The Broadsmoore Group’s CEO believes that the only proper way to invest is in companies that have the interests of the shareholders before the short-term profits of the company. Companies that believe in doing thorough due diligence and research are the only ones worth investing in; one red flag is reason enough not to do a deal. 

 According to AJ Discala, every company needs to place an emphasis on the counter-party to avoid fraud in today’s fraud riddled environment.

AJ Discala advises potential investors to also consider factors such as management views on due diligence, risk analysis and counter party due diligence along with traditional PE ratio, debt equity and interest coverage to decide whether the stocks are appropriate investments. The best method to avoid losses is to put in a lot of research in a company’s practices before making any investment decisions.

AJ Discala, Broadsmoore CEO, On Ways to Motivate Investors

Motivating investors is important both for companies and shareholders. AJ Discala Broadsmoore CEO, believes that common sense is critical to stock market success. To him, common sense says investors must return to the basics of sustainable investing and know about their clients and counter party.

AJ Discala Broadsmoore CEO looks forward to bringing long-term sustainability to Wall Street. His main idea is to reinstate investor confidence and motivate investors by giving them an insider view of the financial market. Investors should not fear the current liquidity crisis; they should look forward to investing. Discala believes that translating financial jargon to plain English allows advisors to connect better with investors. Simplicity and common sense are the roads to success in the financial market, and that is exactly what Discala teaches to his employees and colleagues, investors and shareholders.

Every financial transaction initiated by AJ Discala CEO is transparent and has some humanitarian value attached to it. Both the party and the counterparty are aware of each other and there is full verification and validation to maintain clear and honest transactions. The main issues dealt by Discala include providing liquidity to investors, reducing fraud and corruption, as well as creating jobs and opportunities for people to engage in socially beneficial objectives.

The core philosophy of The Broadsmoore Group is to return to basics and strategically partner with only those companies who maintain a socially responsible environment. His role as the CEO of the Broadsmoore Group is to assist its strategic partners and support humanitarian causes. The mission of the group is to assist partners to enter into different business opportunities, by providing them with capital, liquidity generation and overall growth.

With these strong ideals in place, AJ Discala CEO plans to leverage a network of high net individuals, family offices and investors to connect with strong companies who approach business with an emphasis on social responsibility. The main idea is to create a safe financial market that allows investors to freely invest in different companies without worrying about the returns.

The vision of AJ Discala CEO is to create a secure financial market where the client needs are given utmost priority and this in turn creates a stable financial market. The global economic crisis that began in 2008 has plagued the financial market and most investors are understandably reluctant to invest. It is Discala who motivates investors to understand the financial market and the potential companies where they can invest without significant risk. The road to success in the financial market is to invest in healthy opportunities and share the benefits.
