Compare cheap business gas rates

To find the cheapest commercial gas supplier, it’s recommended to compare gas deals with a company like uSwitchForBusiness. Instead of ringing each supplier independently, you can make one phone call and have us do the work for you.

By using a broker, you take advantage of relationships already built with business energy suppliers. On your behalf, a broker will negotiate favourable deals catered specifically to your requirements. There’s plenty to consider when it comes to finding cheap business gas prices – that’s why conducting a price comparison with expert help is recommended.

We’ll be able to work out what cheap gas deal will be most beneficial for your business. What’s more, by taking the process out of your hands, you’ll save time and money, allowing you to focus on the day-to-day running of your compan

As mentioned, it’s difficult to compare cheap gas deals without running a price comparison. That’s because no two business gas tariffs are the same. To find the cheapest business gas price, brokers like uSwitchForBusiness will search the market for deals that are suited to your requirements. We will then compile a list of the cheapest gas prices available.

However, you won’t want to come into the process blind, so here’s a general guide to what you can expect, based on the size of your business.

Business size	Unit cost	Standing charge
Micro business	9.8p per kWh	53.1p per day
Small business	9.1p per kWh	65.7p per day
Medium business	8.7p per kWh	111.8p per day

When looking to switch to a cheap gas deal, you’ll need to be approaching the end of your current contract. Unlike domestic energy, businesses can not usually switch to a better deal with just 28 days’ notice. Instead, you need to be in what is called your renewal window, which usually starts around 6 months before your current tariff ends.

Business energy brokers will then use your information to compile a list of suitable cheap gas deals. But don’t worry about knowing every detail about your current tariff, it will all be included on your most recent bill. So long as you have a copy of that handy when making the phone call, we can help you to find cheap business gas prices, totally stress-free.

If you don’t switch or negotiate a deal before your contract ends, your energy supplier will place you on a deemed or rollover contract. These feature rates that are often up to 80% higher than other deals. A rollover contract can last up to a whole year, whereas deemed contracts last 28 days, both on inflated prices. Either way, you’ll want to avoid both these contract types at all costs.
