Offsite Records Storage

Many businesses concluded that the benefits of outsourcing records to an offsite records storage company is the most effective way to maintain space management. Understandable, seeing that space is not necessarily a commodity that is easy to come by.

Retaining your documents for an extended period is necessary due to legislation requirements. This can become a major issue for medium and small sized businesses over prolonged periods of time. Secure Storage offers a solution. We can keep your documents in our secure facility and once the documents are requested, we scan and send them directly you within half a day.

How does offsite Records storage work?

One might think; ‘why would I outsource my documents?’ Keeping them in-house seems easy indeed. They are easy to access and protected from the outer world. However, there is one massive issue with that. Space management. If you are a small or medium sized business with only a few rooms, where would you leave your documents?  You might have a storage room that takes up 10 m² in your office but storing your documents here is a waste of space and this could be better utilised. Add to that, the time it would take a member of staff to search for a certain document, this time could be put to the benefit of your trade instead.

That’s where we can save you time and money. Once you decide to make use of our secure offsite records storage, our security agents will pick up your documents and transport it after the vetting process. With a service tailored to your needs, we can offer document shredding once records are not needed anymore. Do you need those documents again? Within a few hours you’ll be receiving those via fax or e-mail, straight from our secure offsite records storage.
