When choosing a document storage facility to store your documents, make sure to pick one that is close to your business location. If you need to access to stored documents, you do not want to drive across town. A climate controlled self storage unit is also recommended for business document storage. The climate controlled storage units help to protect the documents from damage caused by extreme weather such as heat, humidity and freezing temperatures. Because you are storing employee and business records, it is vital to pick a storage facility with secure document storage including video surveillance, keypad entry, computerized gate access and strong locks!
It is important to have the right types of document storage boxes and other storage supplies when you are packing your documents. Documents should be stored in sturdy cardboard boxes with filler material to make sure that the documents will not shift while being moved to and from the storage unit. As with other storage boxes, make sure that the document storage boxes are sealed securely with packaging tape.
After you have decided to store your business documents in a self storage unit, there are a few things to keep in mind as you are preparing your boxes and storage units.
Self storage is a perfect solution for business storage from retail inventory to contractor’s equipment to document storage. Placing your documents in storage will help to keep your office and business clutter free as well as help to decrease your stress and increase the productivity of your staff.
