Backing a small, focused operator at the start of its journey

Kytrix Travel is being built as a small-group, family-friendly travel operator based on the Isle of Wight. The focus: day trips, airport and cruise transfers, and group travel for schools, youth groups, workplaces and communities.

We're currently in pre-launch, aiming for Spring 2026 subject to licensing, vehicles and funding. This page is designed to give potential investors and partners a clear sense of what we're building, how capital would be used and what kind of relationship we're looking for.

Important NoteNothing on this page is a financial promotion, crowdfunding offer or invitation to the general public to invest. It's an overview for people who already have an interest in exploring a conversation.

Why Kytrix, why now?

The aim isn't to build a faceless coach conglomerate. It's to create a well-run, reputation-led operator that makes group travel easier for families, schools, workplaces and community groups.

Pre-launch • Island-first
Clear niche, real local need
Families, schools and groups regularly face a mix of ferry logistics, limited options and 'make do' solutions. A small, flexible operator focused on this niche can serve a gap the larger fleets don't prioritise.
Focused, multi-stream model
Day trips, airport/cruise transfers, and private hire for schools, workplaces and community groups – with memberships, gift cards and digital products layered on top over time.
Built for steady, sustainable growth
Start with a small, right-sized fleet and tight routes. Prioritise safety, reliability and reputation. Add capacity and routes only when the data, demand and systems support it.

What investment would help fund

Exact numbers and structures will depend on the mix of loans, equity and founder contribution, but the broad use of funds is clear: get safely on the road and through the early launch years.

First vehicles & launch fleet

Acquiring and preparing the first small-group minibuses, including livery, seating configurations and accessibility-focused choices.

Licensing, safety & compliance

Operator licensing, systems, training and tooling that embed UK PSV and safety expectations from day one.

Working capital for launch period

Covering early operating costs while routes, private hire, groups and membership products scale to a sustainable level.

Who this conversation is for

We're looking for a small number of investors or lenders who care about the mix of commercial reality and community benefit. This is not a get-rich-quick story.

Local angel or private investor
Individuals who understand the Island, see the gap for reliable small-group transport and want to back a founder-led operator.
Values-led / impact-focused backer
People or funds who care about access to experiences for families, schools and community groups, not just spreadsheets.
Community lender or supporter
Those interested in structured loans, revenue-share or community-backed instruments alongside more traditional equity.

How we think about risk, return and time horizons

Transport is operationally complex and capital intensive. The plan is to be honest about the risks, conservative with projections and clear about the path to sustainable profit.

No hype, clear plan

Operational & regulatory risk

Licensing, maintenance, driver availability and compliance are critical. We're building processes, documentation and external advice in from the outset rather than bolting them on later.

Measured growth, not overreach

Capacity ramps with data: actual bookings, route performance and repeat customers, not just optimistic forecasts. Better to grow a little slower than to compromise service or safety.

Clear documentation & updates

Investors should be able to see where the business is against its plan. Regular updates with numbers, context and next steps.
