What Cubo does

Cubo is a UK-based premium coworking space provider operating 14 locations across 10 cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Derby. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Derby (operating as Cubo Holdings Limited), the company offers flexible workspace solutions ranging from hot desks (from £175/month on a 12-month commitment, £199/month rolling) and designated desks (from £199/month) to fully furnished private offices for teams of 2-20 and bespoke full-floor Cubo Studio solutions for enterprises of 20+. Every location provides 24/7 access, 10Gb leased-line connectivity, barista-quality coffee, meeting rooms, phone booths, wellness facilities, and curated community programming.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining self-serve website bookings for individual and small-team memberships with an inside sales team managing bespoke enterprise Cubo Studio deals. All memberships include multi-location access across the 14-site UK network, supporting network effects among a 10,000+ member base. Revenue is generated through recurring subscription fees across four tiers, with premium pricing in London Soho (£275/month hot desk versus £175 regional standard). Distribution is exclusively direct-to-customer with no third-party intermediaries.

Backed by Literacy Capital since May 2023 (significant minority stake, eight-figure funding earmarked for regional expansion), Cubo targets freelancers, remote workers, professionals, SMB teams, startups, and enterprise clients. Named customers include Nationwide Building Society, Arcadis Gen, AND Digital, BJSS, Columbus, Weightmans, and DSW Ventures. The company achieved a £30 million revenue milestone in October 2025 and holds Green Small Business environmental certification.
