Secure Document Storage Within Our Small Storage Earlsfield

There are many documents in both our personal and business lives that need to be kept safe. Our small storage Earlsfield will be the perfect solution.

There are many personal documents that you need to keep hold of. If you run your own business, there are also many business documents that you need to keep for a number of years.

Within this article, we are going to look at the documents – both personal and business – that we need to keep hold off and let you know why our storage in Earlsfield will be an excellent storage solution.

The Personal Documents Your Need To Keep

There are many personal documents that you should keep. Here are some of the important ones to keep hold of:

Bank, credit card, and loan statements – These should be kept for at least 3 months. You should also check them regularly for any incorrect charges.
Utility bills – You should keep these for at least a year. Keeping them will help you to compare what you are actually using in comparison to the projected bill.
Warranties and receipts – You should keep warranty records for as long as the warranty exists.
Insurance documents – These documents are essential for making claims, so it is a good idea to keep them even after your policy has expired and only dispose of them or place them into storage when you receive your new policy.
Payslips – You should keep all monthly payslips until you receive your annual P60. We should also keep your P45.
Medical information – Any documents related to illnesses or treatments should be kept forever. While your GP will maintain a copy, it is a good idea to have your own copy.
Personal identification – Items such as passports, driving licenses, birth certifications, wills etc. should be kept in a safe place indefinitely. Some of these can be put into storage i.e. wills and deeds; others will need to be kept closer to hand, like your passport and driver’s licence.

The Business Documents You Need To Keep

If you run a local business, like Lark Earlsfield, there are many business documents that you need to keep hold for a number of years. The business documents that UK business should keep hold of are:

Records about the company – this include details about the director, shareholders and company secretary, results from shareholder votes, promises for the company to repay loans at a specific date in the future and who they must be paid back to, promises the company makes for payments if something goes wrong and it’s the company’s fault, transactions when someone buys shares in the company and loans or mortgages secured against the company’s assets.

Accounting records – this includes all money received and spent by the company, details of assets owned by the company, debts the company owes or is owed, stock the company owns at the end of the financial year, the stocktakings you used to work out the stock figure, all goods bought and sold and who you bought and sold them to and from, unless you run a retail business.
Other financial records – this includes records of all money spent by the company, for example receipts, petty cash books, orders and delivery notes, all money received by the company, for example invoices, contracts, sales books and till rolls and any other relevant documents, for example bank statements and correspondence.

“Absolutely amazing experience with Cinch Self Storage Earlsfield! Robert and Dylan were incredible – super friendly, helpful, and professional from the moment I walked in. They truly went above and beyond, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.

The facility itself is top-notch: clean, secure, well-organised, with trolleys, elevators, and excellent storage options. But honestly, what makes this place stand out are the people.
