Business document archiving — how long to keep records?
Every business must keep documents for a defined period. Accounting documents are kept for 5 years, personnel files for 50 years (or 10 years for employees hired from 1 January 2019), and ZUS documents for 5 years.
Why use self storage as an archive?
Offices run out of space and extra office space is expensive. Self storage offers dry, clean and monitored conditions with quick access whenever you need a document.
How to organise an archive
Use standard binders and archive boxes, label each box with its contents and dates, and keep an archive index.
Which unit works for documents?
Unit S (3 m²) fits hundreds of binders and boxes. Larger archives can use Unit M or L, starting from 125 PLN/month with VAT invoices available.
