Can You Save Money On Your Branch Energy Bills?

Posted on

Have you compared energy quotes in the last 12 months? If you haven’t, chances are that you’re paying too much for your energy. To keep your costs down, you should be reviewing your business energy supplier regularly.

Small businesses usually have a bad deal when it comes to business energy. One of the reasons why is that they tend to switch less frequently and are generally less engaged with the market.

The imbalance in price is costing small businesses around £180 million a year in the UK alone, according to the CMA. They cite a lack of price transparency and high exit fees as the main culprits.

Furthermore, small companies are being conned out of £2bn by rogue ‘energy brokers’ who lock them into long-term bad-value gas and electricity contracts, according to documents submitted to Ofgem.

Many energy market brokers promise the best energy deal for small businesses at no charge to their client but go on to offer poor-value deals picked exclusively from suppliers that offer the most lucrative terms for the brokers and go on to claim billions of pounds in commissions hidden in the inflated supply deals, many of which stretch over three to five years.

What should small businesses look for in their energy providers?

A competitive price

It goes without saying that any business hopes to find the most competitive rate possible for their energy.

Reliability

You want a supplier you can rely on to be consistent, fair and honest. You want to be able to contact them easily if need be, but ultimately you hope everything will run smoothly without your involvement.

Flexibility

Small and microbusinesses are forever adapting, and they need a supplier that can adapt with them. For small but established businesses, this might mean a longer contract so they can guarantee they’ll keep their low rate for longer. For a new startup, this might mean a contract-free option so they’re not tied down.

How can you get the best energy rates for your small business and switch?
