Space: When you store records and library media off-site, you instantly gain access to all the available space in your property. You will no longer need to worry about working around the growing number of records you must store as your business continues to operate through the years.
Security: Off-site records retention offers a level of security that can be difficult to achieve on-site. When you store your records with a professional file retention service, you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your records are stored securely in a facility designed to protect your documents from theft, fire, flood, and other potential issues.
Longevity: Records stored in an off-site facility are kept in optimal conditions to protect their longevity. Your records and other media will be kept in a cool, dry environment to ensure they will not deteriorate over time.
Convenience: Although your records will be stored off-site, they will be organized and easily accessible at any time.

You will be able to find the documents you need quickly and easily, making professional record retention a convenient solution.
Records Businesses Must Retain
Businesses are often subject to more stringent record retention requirements than individuals. Knowing which records are necessary to retain can help you minimize excess paperwork while preventing the destruction of necessary documents. Records that must be retained by businesses include:
- Annual financial statements
- Purchase and sale receipts
- Corporate documents including your business’ incorporation documents, constitution and bylaws, charters, and meeting minutes
- Any licenses, patents, copyrights, or trademarks held by your company or employees
- Property mortgages or leases
- Tax information such as returns and audits
