Asset-light Model

The asset-light model has two categories — U Brand and U Partner. Under both subcategories, the Company is responsible for operating the spaces and they can deliver their members the same quality services that they provide in U Space. As Ucommune expands into other cities and countries under the asset-light model, they can provide their members with spaces in more geographical locations.
