Business electricity

Business electricity: compare prices and contracts

We compare business electricity on its own, with your rates exactly as printed and the standing charge, VAT and contract term in every quote. Then your contract sits in your portal with every other service, looked after by one contact.

  • Day and night rates kept separate
  • Standing charge, VAT and term in every quote
  • Your contract and end date in the portal
What we check

Six things on every electricity bill.

Before we quote, we read your current bill line by line. These are the details that decide whether a new price is really better.

Unit rates, exactly as printed

Day, night and evening rates stay separate. We never average them into one blended price.

End date and notice window

We check when your contract ends and when notice is due before anything else.

Standing charge

A low unit rate can hide a high daily charge, so every comparison includes both.

Supply number and meter

Your supply number and meter type, so quotes match the supply you actually have.

Climate Change Levy and VAT

Totals compared like for like, with the taxes included and stated once.

Your real usage

Prices are worked out from the kWh on your bills, not from an estimate.

How we show it

Current and new, side by side.

Every option is shown next to what you pay now, using the same usage, so you can see the difference for yourself.

  • Rates exactly as printed, never blended
  • Standing charge, Climate Change Levy and VAT included
  • Contract length stated, and the total stated once

How it works

Four steps, one contact.

  1. Step 1

    Send a recent bill

    A photo or PDF of your latest electricity bill for each site is enough to start.

  2. Step 2

    We check the dates first

    Your end date and notice window, so you are never caught by a rollover.

  3. Step 3

    We compare, line by line

    Rates as printed, standing charge, VAT and term, side by side with what you pay now.

  4. Step 4

    You choose, we do the rest

    We arrange the switch, and your contract and end date go into your portal.

Questions

Business electricity, answered.

What do I need to send you?

A recent electricity bill for each site, with all pages. If you would like us to speak to your current supplier for you, we will also ask you to sign a letter of authority.

Will my supply be interrupted if I switch?

No. Switching changes who bills you. The cables, the meter and the supply to your premises stay the same.

Do you quote gas at the same time?

Yes, but separately. Gas and electricity are always quoted as separate contracts, so you can see each price on its own.

What if my contract has already ended?

You can move onto out-of-contract or deemed rates, which Ofgem says are usually higher than negotiated rates. Send us a recent bill and we will look at your options straight away. There is no cooling-off period once you agree a business energy contract, so we go through the terms with you before you sign.

Do businesses pay 20% VAT on electricity?

Usually, yes: business fuel and power is standard rated unless it qualifies for the reduced rate. Very low-use supplies can fall under the de minimis rules in HMRC VAT Notice 701/19. Your bill shows which rate you are paying.
