Stop Overpaying for Business Electricity
Business electricity is one of the largest controllable overheads for UK companies. Yet most businesses simply roll onto their supplier's out-of-contract rate when their contract ends — often paying 40–60% more than they need to.

Business electricity FAQs
Common questions from UK business owners about switching electricity supplier.
How long does it take to switch business electricity supplier?
Most business electricity switches complete within 28 days of signing your new contract. We manage the entire process so there's no disruption to your supply.
Can I switch if I'm still in contract?
Yes — we can compare rates and lock in a new contract to start when your current one ends. This is called a forward contract and is common practice for businesses wanting to secure good rates early.
What is a half-hourly meter?
Half-hourly (HH) meters record your consumption every 30 minutes and are mandatory for sites using over 100kW. They allow more flexible tariff structures and are common in manufacturing, retail and hospitality.
Is your comparison service really free?
Yes, completely free. We're paid a commission by the supplier you choose, which is already built into the market rate. You pay no more than going direct — and often significantly less.
