🏚️ Sub-subcontract
A sub-subcontract is a contract between a subcontractor and a sub-subcontractor in which the subcontractor delegates some of its obligations under the original contract to the sub-subcontractor. The sub-subcontractor is then responsible for performing those delegated obligations.

Subcontract work
A company may sub-contract work for a number of reasons, such as not having the resources or expertise to complete the work themselves. Additionally, sub-contracting can help to save time and money.
Back-to-back subcontract
When a sub-subcontractor is used, the prime contractor may have a back-to-back subcontract to reduce risk. This subcontract ensures the prime contractor gets paid if the sub-subcontractor doesn't pay the sub-contractor. It also minimizes the prime contractor's liability.
