Self-storage for archives

Every company has records and accounts that have to be kept. But this needn’t mean drowning in paperwork or paying for more office space. Instead you can put your files into self-storage and create a better working environment.

When self-storage can be of help

Keeping the tax man, accountants and Companies House happy: you need to keep many records for at least 6 years. These soon mount up. Rather than be surrounded by paperwork, keep what you use and put the rest in storage.
Keep paperwork out of the way: create more office space by keeping your documents in storage.
Moving to a new site: you might want to keep confidential records safe in self-storage while moving into larger or smaller premises.
Freeing up space if you work from home: if you work from home then space can be at a premium, put your business documents in store to stop them taking over.
Backing-up records: keeping some back-ups documents off site may help your business to continue running smoothly.

Great experience at Hanworth branch being shown around the units by Afonso and talked through the different storage options, pricing structures, security features etc. I dropped in (didn't make an appointment beforehand) and everywhere was immaculate from reception to the storage units I was shown.
