Document Storage in the Philippines: Affordable, Pickup-Included
Running a business in the Philippines means paperwork. Lots of it. Contracts, BIR records, HR files, client folders: they pile up fast, and keeping them in a spare room or under your desk isn’t a real solution.
Kahon.ph offers physical document storage built for small businesses: per-box pricing, pickup from your office, and no long-term enterprise commitment. Whether you have two boxes of contracts or an entire filing cabinet’s worth of records, we’ve got a plan that fits.
Why businesses in the Philippines need document storage
Legal retention requirements are real. Under BIR Revenue Regulations No. 17-2013, Philippine businesses must keep books of accounts and accounting records for up to 10 years. That’s invoices, receipts, ledgers, and supporting documents: all of it. The Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) also requires businesses to handle personal data responsibly, which includes keeping physical records secure and controlled.
Office space in Makati and BGC is expensive. You’re paying per square meter for prime CBD real estate. Stacking archive boxes in your office is literally burning money. Offsite document storage frees up that space immediately.
Sensitive records need proper security. Client contracts, employee files, financial statements: these shouldn’t be sitting in an unlocked cabinet. Kahon.ph stores your documents in sealed, tamper-proof boxes with two security seals. Only you can authorize access.
You still need to retrieve files when it matters. A good storage solution isn’t just “out of sight, out of mind.” When the BIR calls for an audit or a client needs a contract pulled, you need your documents back fast. Kahon.ph delivers them to your door.

Step 4: Request delivery when you need them. Need a file back? Just request a delivery. We’ll bring your box to your office. No complicated retrieval process, no waiting weeks.

How is Kahon.ph different from Crown RMS or Iron Mountain?
Crown RMS and Iron Mountain are built for large enterprises: complex retrieval systems, barcode tracking, climate-controlled vaults, and pricing to match. Kahon.ph is built for SMEs and startups. You get per-box pricing starting at ₱300/month, pickup included, no enterprise contract, and a straightforward process. If you don’t need a corporate records management system, you don’t need to pay for one.
Can I store an entire filing cabinet's worth of documents?

It gives you dedicated storage space priced per square meter, with no need to repack everything into individual boxes.
