Can Subleasing Work for You?
1 / 6
After downsizing during the recession, many small businesses now have more office space than they need. By subleasing unused space, you may be able to generate extra cash while putting the space to good use.

It's important to note that when you sublease office space to another tenant, you are still obligated to the terms of the original leasing contract you signed with your landlord.

Here are five things to consider before you get started. -- Don Sadler
