Like any successful business in Milwaukee, sometimes moving to a new office is a good thing for many reasons. You may need bigger space or maybe your move is for budgetary reasons. Whatever your reasons are, as a business owner, you need to consider getting rid of stuff you don’t need anymore, such as old, unneeded business documents.Before you do pack up any boxes, it’s recommended to organize all of your paperwork. First, set aside the documents you need to keep. For documents you don’t need, make a separate pile. In this pile, it could include price lists, market research, financial records, customer lists, audits, blueprints and bank statements. Ask your staff members to collect any documents from their desks and drawers that they wish to toss out and coordinate to collect all those documents.

Next, make sure that any old hard drives are collected up for disposal. Even if you may have deleted data from the hard drives, it doesn’t mean all the data has been wiped out. Cyber criminals will use specialized software to gain access to any sensitive information that could still be stored. In addition, make sure that no one throws out any documents into the trash. By throwing fully intact documents into your company trash, you open the risk of identity theft crimes. Identity theft criminals will dig into trash in search of valuable information that they will use for personal gains.
