Which business energy suppliers do you work with?

We compare quotes from a wide panel of trusted UK business energy suppliers to help find competitive gas and electricity deals. The panel can change over time, so contact us for the latest list.

How do I get a business energy quote?

Share a recent bill (or your MPAN/MPRN), business name, postcode, current supplier, contract end date, and estimated annual kWh usage. We’ll compare rates and send tailored quotes with clear next steps.

How long does switching business energy supplier take?

Most business switches complete in around 2–4 weeks after you sign, depending on supplier processes and any objections. We’ll keep you updated throughout.

Will my energy supply be disrupted if I switch?

No. Switching is an administrative change. Your gas and electricity keep flowing without downtime; only your billing supplier changes.

Do you compare fixed and flexible business energy contracts?

Yes. We can present fixed-rate, variable and flexible purchasing options where available, and explain the pros and cons based on your usage profile and risk preference.

Do you charge any fees?

We’re transparent about costs. Any fees or commissions will be clearly explained before you agree to proceed, so you can make an informed decision.

Can you help multi-site or half-hourly metered businesses?

Yes. We support single and multi-site portfolios and complex metering (including half-hourly), and can help align contract end dates and reporting where available.

Do you offer green or renewable business energy options?

We can compare renewable-backed electricity and lower-carbon options where available, and highlight suppliers with strong sustainability credentials.

How far in advance can I secure a new contract?

Many suppliers allow you to lock in rates 6–12 months before your current contract ends (sometimes longer). Getting quotes early helps you avoid out-of-contract rates.

What happens when my business energy contract is ending?

We can review your options, check the market, and help you renew or switch in time to avoid higher default rates. We’ll handle the paperwork and keep you updated.

Domestic Energy Suppliers in the UK | Compare Gas & Electricity

How UK Domestic Energy Supply Works

In Great Britain, your energy supplier sells you gas and electricity and handles your billing and customer service. The network operators maintain the pipes and wires that deliver energy to your home. When you switch supplier, your meter and the local network don’t change, and there is no break in supply.

Regulation: Suppliers are regulated by Ofgem. Standards cover billing, switching, and customer protections.
Faster Switching: Many switches can complete in as little as 1 working day. In general, switching completes within around 5 working days. If you choose to use the 14-day cooling-off period, your switch happens after that period.
Price Cap: Ofgem’s price cap limits the unit rates and standing charges for standard variable tariffs. It is not a cap on your total bill; your costs depend on how much energy you use.
Meters: Homes may have credit meters, prepayment meters, or smart meters. Smart meters enable automatic readings and access to time-of-use tariffs.

Suppliers must work with you if you’re struggling to pay. Reach out early to discuss payment plans and support options.

Is the Ofgem price cap a limit on my total bill?

No. The price cap limits unit rates and standing charges on standard variable tariffs. Your total bill still depends on how much energy you use.

How long does it take to switch energy supplier?

Many switches complete in as little as 1 working day. Typically it’s within around 5 working days. If you use your 14-day cooling-off period, your switch happens after that.

Will my energy be cut off during the switch?

No. The physical network doesn’t change, so there’s no interruption to your gas or electricity supply when you switch.

Do I need a smart meter to switch?

No, but smart meters can give you accurate bills and access to time-of-use tariffs. You can choose whether to have one installed.

Can I switch if I’m on a fixed tariff with exit fees?

Yes, but your current supplier may charge exit fees if you leave before the end date. Some tariffs have a fee-free switching window near expiry—check your terms.

Can I switch if I have debt on a prepayment meter?

You may be able to switch if you owe less than a set amount under the Debt Assignment Protocol (commonly up to £500 per fuel). Ask both suppliers about eligibility.

What’s the difference between fixed and variable tariffs?

Fixed tariffs lock in unit rates and standing charges for a set term, often with exit fees. Variable tariffs can move up or down, usually with fewer or no exit fees.

How do Economy 7 and Economy 10 work?

They offer cheaper night rates and higher day rates. They suit homes that can shift usage to off-peak hours or use storage heating or hot water tanks efficiently.
