Storage of documents and archives

Service

The vast majority of documents that are required for a company to work every day exist in electronic form or do not take up much space on the shelves in the office. However, many contracts, certificates and other papers with signatures and checks must be printed, and the need to store them for several years is formalised at the legislative level. Sooner or later, a lot of such papers accumulate and the question arises of the archival storage of documents. In case of disputes or claims you may need them, and in order to protect the interests of your company, it is required to make sure that the papers are systematized and stored in optimal conditions.

Self Storage service of SpaceHub offers its services for storing documents in the archive. All our rooms are perfect for storing papers in their original form. Temperature and humidity are automatically controlled by a modern climate control system. Due to regular wet cleaning and a well designed ventilation system, dust does not accumulate in the warehouses and there are no foreign odors. You can rent one or several boxes for storing documents for any period. We recommend that you pack all papers in boxes, label them with the date and type, and if necessary, we are ready to help with the correct organization of your documentation.

Storage of documents and archives

Why pay for document storage?

Keeping documents in storage allows the company to solve several problems at the same time:

  • Reduce monthly expenses. Renting office space is significantly more expensive than renting a warehouse, so storing archived papers in a box gives you the opportunity to save money.

  • Increase the efficiency of your employees. This is possible due to the proper organization of the workspace and reduction of the non-core workload.

  • Eliminate risks in working with documents. Storing documents in the warehouse means that only you and those employees to whom you give the individual alarm code will have access to them. This removes the risk of disclosure of confidential information or destruction of important papers. It also reduces to zero the risk of fire and other threats. All warehouses of SpaceHub have a modern fire protection system, concealed wiring, sealed sockets, protection from flooding.

  • Use the office rationally. Renting document storage boxes frees up additional office space that can be used for key business tasks.
