Compare business energy deals

No, businesses aren't protected by the energy price cap. Instead, suppliers will charge firms different rates, depending on their usage.  

Switching is very quick, and it takes around 2-3 weeks for the suppliers to complete the paperwork — but you’ll never lose power or gas during the process. 

Your supply will stay the same, just the business charging you will change.

You should still be able switch, but you might be charged early exit fees — so it’s important to check the small print before jumping in. 

You’ll need the details of your business, and your latest energy bills which will show your annual usage how much you're currently being charged.

No, it'll all be done automatically once you choose your new supplier.

Businesses who use a lot of energy often get better deals because suppliers want their business.

Most suppliers offer dual fuel deals, and it’s often easier when managing your bills. However, it’s worth shopping around for both, as you could still get a better deal if you keep them separate.

It's likely you'll have a different contract for each location, but some suppliers might offer you a cheaper deal to use them across all locations, and it could also save you time when doing the paperwork.

Check your unit rates (pence per kWh) and standing charges against other suppliers, not just the headline prices. You should also check what your follow-on rate is once your fixed-rate deal ends.

Fixed rates are ones which stay the same, which can make budgeting easier.

Variable rates are ones which can go up or down with market prices – so even though they might be cheaper when you sign up, they can fluctuate when energy prices rise or fall.
