Company archive storage in Lisbon: where to keep the paperwork
Where to keep a company archive without filling the office: how much space to count, what to check in a unit and what it costs at Matinha.
To keep a company archive without filling the office, the simplest option is to rent a closed storage unit near the city. At Matinha, in Marvila, the 6 m² unit costs €120 a month + VAT and suits a small company's archive.
Why take the archive out of the office
- A square metre of office costs more than a square metre of storage.
- Files and boxes take up desks and cupboards the team could use.
- Paper you rarely look at does not need to be at hand every day.
How much space to count
Count the archive boxes you have today and add room for the next few years. Leave an aisle to reach every box, otherwise the one at the back never comes out.
- Small archive: 6 m², €120 a month + VAT.
- Archive and some equipment: 8 m², €140 a month + VAT.
- Larger archive or with furniture: 11 m², €175 a month + VAT.
- From 20 m²: €15 per m² a month + VAT.
What to check in a unit
- Your own padlock and a closed unit, so only the people the company chooses can get in.
- Access at any hour, to fetch a document when it is needed.
- Loading at the door, to move boxes in and out without carrying them far.
- A contract term that follows how long you really need the space.
Archive, office and desk in one building
The storage units are on the ground floor at Matinha, with 24-hour access, in the same building as the coworking and the offices. If you already have a desk or an office, the unit goes on the same invoice. On the visit we show you the units and tell you which sizes are free, because availability changes.
