The Challenge
Byotrol needed a partner that could give them flexibility and reliability, ensuring working capital was available when needed.
The Solution
Byotrol partnered with Kriya Invoice Finance to unlock the cash tied up in outstanding invoices.
Byotrol Limited is a UK-based multinational market leader in biocidal technologies, creating regulatory-approved antimicrobial cleaning and hygiene products that are trusted by vets, animal welfare, hospitals, schools, retailers, facilities management, and consumer brands. With a strong focus on science-led innovation, Byotrol helps organisations protect both animal and human health while maintaining high standards of hygiene.
The Challenge
Working with large corporate buyers is a sign of strength, but it also brings challenges. Extended and varied payment terms meant cash flow was often tied up in receivables for weeks or months at a time.
This mismatch between income and outgoings made it harder for Byotrol to plan ahead with confidence. Day-to-day, the business still needed to pay suppliers, manufacturers, and staff, while also investing in research and development to maintain its edge in antimicrobial technologies.
Byotrol needed a partner that could give them flexibility and reliability, ensuring working capital was available when needed.
The Solution
In July 2023, Byotrol partnered with Kriya Invoice Finance to unlock the cash tied up in outstanding invoices.
Kriya designed a facility around Byotrol’s customer base and contract structures, with flexible pricing across a wide range of payment terms (21 to 75 days). This meant the business could choose the most efficient way to fund itself depending on the client, invoice, and project.
The relationship proved successful from the start. After 2 years of steady support, Byotrol renewed its facility in 2025 for a third year, cementing the partnership as a key part of its financial toolkit.
The Impact
- Strengthen liquidity across customer contracts, smoothing out cashflow gaps caused by long client payment cycles.
- Invest confidently in R&D and product innovation, knowing core operational costs are covered.
- Pay suppliers and staff on time, maintaining strong relationships and operational efficiency.
- Plan growth with certainty, backed by a funding partner who understands the realities of their industry.
- Build a long-term solution, renewing their facility for a second year.
“We have developed a successful relationship with Kriya Finance over the past two years and are very much looking forward to working together for a third consecutive year. The staff are very helpful, and the service we receive has been reliable, quick, and efficient. The facility enables us to free up working capital more quickly, giving us greater liquidity to invest in both our Research & Development and Sales & Marketing initiatives, helping us expand our customer base and bring new products to market, whilst ensuring all our financial commitments are still met on time."
