Helping Customers – One Document at a Time
Paper. Stuffed into filing cabinets, hidden away in backrooms, and seemingly never available when needed. This dependence on paper creates risk, reduces productivity, and costs businesses tens of thousands of dollars each year.
In 2017, CEO and Co-Founder Paul Janicek opened the first DocuLock location in Saint Joseph, Missouri with a mission to protect customers and their documents. By 2020, remote work made document digitization a necessity, and Paul began exploring franchising as a way to reach more customers in new markets.
Today, DocuLock is looking for entrepreneurial Franchise Partners who believe that there is a better way to preserve, store, and use information.
If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been searching for, now is the time to reach out. Complete the form below and schedule a short introductory call with our Franchise team.

A natural salesperson, Tonia loves building relationships and finding the right solutions for her clients. She brings an entrepreneurial heart to everything that she does, and she credits the support, training, and experience offered by Paul and the DocuLock team in helping her overcome the challenges of building her business.
