Keep the Archives Secure in Self Storage

It’s a requirement to keep tax documentation for seven years. That’s all your receipts, bills, bank statements, credit card payments and pay slips – all of the paper that you’ve accumulated for seven years. Not all of us have enough filing cabinets to keep such storage of paper. Let alone enough storage space in our house for all those filing cabinets.

In this digital era, the storage of paper is less of a problem. There’s less need for a storage unit, more for a massive paperwork hard-drive, and a few backups. But as little as 4 years ago, most of your documentation would still be in paper form. And you still have to keep that stuff. Eventually even hard-drives of your documentation will begin to take up a lot of room. Imagine your annoyance if you got audited, only to find you’d thrown out your tax receipts, rather than keeping them in storage? Using storage rental, keeping it all in a storage unit, is a pre-emptive solution – at least your archives can be kept safely in a storage unit, without you ever having to worry about them.

Many people use self-storage for just this purpose, and it will help to keep your documentation a bit more organised. Your paperwork can be sorted in file systems and by year in the storage unit, so that you can keep a seven-year rotation, and never have to worry about it again. Keep your paperwork safe, secure, and simple. All thanks to self storage.
