  • Why Record Retention Is Important

    Record retention is a valuable tool for companies and home businesses. A storage unit at a reputable storage facility is a safe, secure place to store important documents you may need later. Here are some key reasons why record retention is important.

    Record Retention in Orange County

    It Can Prove Valuable in a Lawsuit
    If you or your company is sued, or if you are listed as a plaintiff, witness, or custodian of record in any legal proceeding, the information contained in company and employee records might prove invaluable. You don’t need to store every piece of paper you’ve received since the founding of your company. Consult with an attorney with experience in records management for guidelines on what records are crucial and useful to store, and how long they should remain in storage before they can be destroyed.

    It May Be Legally Required
    Depending upon your business, retaining records for a specific time period may be legally required. All organizations are required by law to retain tax records and employment records. Typically, companies with 15 or more employees are required to keep employment records for 1 to 5 years, depending upon the document. Documents related to medical exams must be retained for at least 30 years. Tax records must be retained between 2 and 7 years, depending upon the tax document.

    You Can Create an Inventory of Your Records
    Sending your important records to a storage facility is a perfect opportunity to create a database or inventory of these documents for future reference. Each storage box should be numbered and contain distinctly labeled folders. As you add documents to folders, folders to boxes, and boxes to your storage unit, you should maintain and update your inventory.

  • The Steps of Preparing Your Vehicle for Long-Term Storage

    You want to ensure your vehicle is in the same condition when it comes out of self-storage in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange County as it was when you originally stored it, so it is important to follow the appropriate steps to prepare it. Here is a brief overview of the steps when preparing your vehicle for long-term storage.

    Go For a Spin
    When you store a vehicle for a substantial amount of time, it helps to take it for a short drive every few weeks and/or start it a minimum of once a week. An occasional 15-minute spin will help keep the battery from dying , and it can also help the various components of your car stay properly lubricated. Run the air conditioner during your drive to refresh the air inside your car. If no one can take your car out for a drive during its time in storage, consider disconnecting the negative battery cable.

    Cover the Exterior
    A vehicle that will not be in use for some time can typically benefit from a car cover. Although this tends to be more important when you store your vehicle in a garage or parking lot, covering the exterior of your car while it stays in a self-storage unit can still help to protect it from dust accumulation.

    Prevent Flat Spots
    Nobody wants to take a vehicle out of storage only to find flat spots on the tires; fortunately, this is entirely preventable. Avoid flat spots on your tires by keeping them properly inflated while they remain in storage. Some individuals choose to take their tires off completely so they are not subjected to the weight of the vehicle, and thus are protected from flat spots.
