Your small business is expanding, which is great news for you and everyone you employ. In fact, you just hired five new people and are now in the process of rearranging the office space to set up workspaces for everyone. You know keeping a balance between making the best use of your leased office space and allowing each of your valuable staff members enough personal space to be comfortable is important. At the same time, you have all of these boxes of files and other important documents that must be maintained for tax purposes for at least the next few years. What should you do? Choosing to rent a storage unit is one of the best solutions for this common small business problem. You cannot just get rid of the boxes, and you need to keep them safe and secure. The storage units at US Storage Centers are the perfect place to keep these items - and even some of the other items that you have accumulated in your office that you want to keep 'just in case.' What Is The Best Way To Prepare The Unit To Hold Important Business Records? Even though storage facilities generally offer the best conditions to keep valuable documents and irreplaceable records, there are a few things that you can do to ensure the highest degree of safekeeping for your belongings. One simple thing that can prevent against damage to your items is by lining the floor of your storage unit with pallets to keep your boxes off the floor itself. Another great tip for keeping your records safe is to stack your storage boxes carefully and in even piles. Balancing the boxes haphazardly so that they teeter precariously one on top of another is just an accident waiting to happen. One hard knock as you are bringing in the next stack of storage boxes is all it may take to send the boxes at the top flying to the floor - and your valuable papers all over the unit itself. Spare yourself the hassle of having to clean up this particular disaster by stacking those boxes carefully.
