English term or phrase: capital-light
We decided to separate our apple business and pear business to simplify XXX to become a capital-light, fee-based business.

I assume they mean that the business does not hold large amounts of capital. The only thing I find in Dutch on Google is "capital-light" or "capital light". Is there a good Dutch expression for this you reckon?
