What are the Benefits of Subleasing Office Space?
If you would prefer a more traditional office environment, but don’t want the full commitment, then subleasing may be for you. Subleasing means that you rent the office space from a tenant who currently holds the lease instead of directly from the landlord. In this situation you are the subtenant. Subleasing is generally more affordable, as much as 15% to 40% less than typical office rates. Lease terms are also shorter allowing you to take advantage of the space now, but still keep your options open down the road.
You will likely have more choices in how much space you want to rent, as subleases for a few offices or a smaller space is more readily available. Another bonus is that often times you can move in immediately, without the time and expense that building improvements usually take.
When a Long-Term Office Lease Makes Sense
Once you have come to the decision that a dedicated office space is the right thing, then you need to think about the best choice for a long-term office lease. Location is likely one of the most important considerations. You want to be convenient for your employees and clients if they come to your space.
After location, then cost is probably the next concern. Do your homework and calculate how this will fit into your business plan and your projected growth. Make sure you clearly understand the lease details and what you are responsible for, don’t make assumptions or decide based on a conversation.
Find the balance between leasing a space that’s the right size for you now, but also has some room to grow. You don’t want to be locked into an office that you have outgrown halfway through the lease term.
