4 Reasons to Use End-of-Year Temporary Storage

4 Reasons to Use End-of-Year Temporary Storage The “Hall of Records” could refer to a mythical library buried under the Great Sphinx of Giza. Or, it could refer to numerous government buildings across the country. When it comes to your business, however, chances are pretty good that it might refer to the mound of records and files you have on hand as we approach the end of the year.

That’s where end-of-year storage steps in.

Temporary record and file storage can be beneficial for businesses in more ways than one. From freeing up space for holiday parties to consolidating records for tax recording purposes, let’s take a look at a few reasons why temporary storage at the end of the year makes sense.

  1. Holiday Parties

It’s hard to enjoy a glass of eggnog if you’re constantly backing up into a tower of personnel records. Or perhaps you’re used to hanging mistletoe on the teetering edge of a stack of folders? Regardless of whether your records and files have a large impact on physical space, renting temporary storage containers for holiday parties is a smart decision.

Instead of spending money on an event space, why not store some of your files, furniture and other office gear in a container for a month or two? With the extra space, you can host office gift exchanges, holiday karaoke, a company potluck or another event. Or, you can rent party gear and have it delivered to your office, where you can store it in the temporary storage container until it’s time to party.

  1. Preparing Taxes

April may be the deadline to file your taxes, but you’re putting yourself in a world of trouble if you wait that long to prepare your taxes. Since the calendar year is quickly approaching its end, it’s the perfect time to separate all the tax records, files, receipts and other information you’ll need over the next few months. For larger companies, this is when end-of-year temporary storage might make sense. Store all tax-related materials in a container and slowly move them back to their permanent location as you process them.

  1. Getting Organized

New Year’s Resolutions aren’t just for individuals. If you have a professional goal to get your company more organized, end-of-year temporary storage may be able to help. By separating the clutter and unorganized files you have lying around, you’ll have more room to decide where and how you want to organize them. One of the great benefits of temporary storage containers is that you can rent them for as long as you need, which lets you get organized for the New Year on your timetable.

  1. Freeing Up Space

Finally, there are several other reasons why it simply makes sense to free up space toward the end of the year. Your company may sell seasonal items, for example, that you need to store until it’s time to sell them. Or, you might place an order for a large number of promotional items for the next big conference. Either way, having a place to store things that take up space will create less stress for those who have to work in an office environment.
