Business energy suppliers

If cost is your chief concern, you’ll want to know who is the cheapest energy supplier. When you run an energy comparison with us, we’ll compare prices from our panel of trusted suppliers to find our cheapest business gas and electricity rates.

It’s not always all about cost though, so if you’d prefer a supplier that offers longer contracts, certain payment methods or boasts a great customer service record then we can help you there, too.

Our energy experts will find the best electricity supplier and most suitable gas supplier to meet your requirements and help to minimise your bills – and we’ll even take care of the whole switch from start to finish, to save you and your business as much time and money as possible. Remember, our service is completely free, and we won’t charge you a penny for setting up a new energy contract. Call now on #CAMPAIGNBUSINESSSERVICENUMBER#.

When looking to switch business energy supplier, you’ll be faced with the decision of whether to go with the long-established reassurance of the ‘Big Six’ gas and electricity suppliers or break out with one of the growing number of smaller commercial energy suppliers. When it comes to picking an energy supplier for your business, there’s a lot of choice out there.

Competitive pricing is an obvious concern when it comes to electricity and gas supplies for business, but there’s more to consider than just cheap business gas and electricity. Energy supply is a highly competitive industry and most business energy suppliers will offer different contract terms and levels of service, depending upon the size and needs of your business - while one supplier might be great for a microbusiness, it might not be best equipped to meet the demands of a high energy consumption business, in which case you’ll need to compare industrial energy suppliers. If you do run a large business, you might even need to consider half hourly metering or multi site meters.

It’s well worth taking the time and effort to look a little further past the price point to see what else a supplier can offer, and the energy experts at Uswitch for Business can do all the hard work for you. We can compare deals in a matter of minutes to find you the best commercial energy supplier.

Switching electricity and gas suppliers is actually quite a straightforward process, but it can be time-consuming. This is because to find the best business power supplier, you need to contact each supplier for an individual, bespoke quote. Or you can let our energy experts do all the hard work for you, to save time and money.

Negotiation plays an important role in any business energy switch, as suppliers don’t always publish all their rates on business gas and electricity comparison sites. But don’t let this put you off - from a financial standpoint alone, the benefit of switching gas and electricity suppliers for business vastly outweighs the effort involved if you let us compare business energy providers on your behalf. This is especially true for business energy customers who have inadvertently found themselves on uncompetitive ‘rollover’, ‘deemed’ or ‘out of contract’ rates, something that can easily happen if you don’t keep an eye on your renewal dates.

When you switch business gas and power with Uswitch for Business, we can keep an eye on your renewal dates and automatically find the best deal for your business to ensure you never overpay again.

Usually, switching business electricity and gas suppliers is quick and problem-free, but there are instances when your switch can get rejected. There is usually a simple explanation for this, usually that you have an outstanding debt owed to your old supplier, but there may be other issues. Our business energy experts can offer guidance with any issues you might encounter.

While comparison sites can help you to benchmark prices, gathering and analysing quotes from different gas and electricity business suppliers takes time. As a general rule, you should aim to try and compare quotes for upwards of 10 business energy companies to be sure your company is getting the best deal on the market. This is where an expert business energy broker such as Uswitch for Business can help. We can do the legwork by gathering and comparing energy quotes from a whole range of gas and electricity suppliers for business on your company’s behalf.

How much your business could save from switching depends on its size, the number of staff you employ and, ultimately, how efficiently it’s run. It’s impossible to say exactly how much your company could save as all businesses are different. But it’s safe to say that if you haven’t renegotiated your business’s energy tariff for more than a few years, then it’s highly likely that you’re now paying more than you should.

Switching gas and electricity suppliers for business takes an average of about four-to-six weeks. The process can be delayed if you haven’t provided your new supplier with the details they need to complete the switch, or if your business is still under contract with an existing supplier.

It’s also worth noting that fees to leave a contract before the expiry date can be heavy, so it’s important to make sure the savings on your new contract justify any penalties incurred. If you’re unsure of who supplies your business gas or electricity, try to find a recent bill or speak to the previous occupier of your premises.

At Uswitch for Business, we can take care of the whole switching process for you, from gathering energy quotes across a large range of gas and electricity suppliers to negotiating a great deal. Our team’s expert knowledge means we’re best placed to advise you on the tariffs and suppliers that will match your business’s specific needs. We’ll also handle all the paperwork involved, meaning you can get back to what matters the most, running your business.
