If you want space for your business quickly (negotiating commercial leases take time) and without a long-term commitment, consider subletting or sharing space. These arrangements usually let you pay by the month for your own space or charge a monthly membership fee for co-space. Find what you need through such sites as LiquidSpace (500 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Australia), PivotDesk (in larger cities), and ShareDesk (certain localities nationwide). If these companies don’t offer space in your area, look online for shared business space.
