Even though it feels like the New Year just started, tax season will be here before you know it. For business owners, the earlier you start managing your paperwork, the better. However, depending on the size of your office, this may not be an easy feat. If your current work environment isn't spacious enough to manage your documents, you may want to consider renting a local storage unit.  

No matter how organized you may be, the additional space will make a difference. There are many business documents that you or your employees don't need immediately but still need to retain, like expense reports, personnel files, and payroll records. By keeping them out of the main office, you can leave space for more pertinent paperwork. This ultimately minimizes both visual and tangible distractions. Neither you nor your employees will waste time rifling through stacks, boxes, or binders to find what they need.

Although it depends on what the local storage facilities have available, it’s best to choose one offering units with lighting or at least an electrical connection. If you’d prefer to do the organizing outside of your office, you’ll need it. If not, having one will at least make it easier to find what you need.

Regardless of how you choose to use your unit, always take the time to review the security of the facility. You’ll be storing away important business documents, so factors like an entrance gate and property-wide lighting make a huge difference. Don’t forget about their reputation either. A local storage facility that’s been around for a while and is well-known in the area is a safer choice than a facility that just opened.
