How does commercial energy differ from domestic energy?

  • Business energy unit rates are usually cheaper.
  • Commercial energy contracts are typically longer.
  • No cooling-off period for business energy contracts.
  • All business contracts are for a single fuel (gas or electric). Businesses can have two contracts with the same supplier but fuels are not bundled together in a dual fuel tariff like suppliers do with domestic energy.

What to consider to get the best energy prices for your small business

If you’re a small business owner and you’re looking to manage your financial outgoings, reducing your business energy prices can be a quick and simple way to make cost savings.

Small businesses that don’t switch or renegotiate before the time an energy contract ends will almost always be put onto a rollover contract. More often than not, rollover contracts won’t give you cheap business energy prices. Expensive supplier rates can be a serious and unnecessary drain on your cash flow.

Thankfully, as a small business owner, you have alternative options to find the best business energy prices. With Free Price Compare, you can browse through a wide variety of gas and electricity suppliers to find the cheapest energy deals. Easy!

Can cheap business energy prices still be environmentally sustainable?

In the day-to-day running of your business, reducing your carbon footprint might not be your number one priority. But, did you know that going green has the real potential of saving your business money while doing your bit for the planet?

The good news is that switching to a green, environmentally sustainable business energy supplier is simple. With more options than ever before, UK business owners can choose an energy supplier and embrace renewable energy.

While it’s not too hard to find an energy supplier who can supply 100% green electricity, if you’re looking for a bundled gas deal you might have to turn to one of the smaller business energy suppliers.

Business Energy FAQS

As a business, lowering costs makes a lot of sense. When it comes to energy, a company uses a lot more on average than a UK household. That can amount to over 10% of overall costs.

At Free Price Compare, our aim is to get our customers onto the best value tariff. So, we compare hundreds of tariffs across the market to get the right one for your business.

Savings vary, but what we can say with confidence is that we will find a competitive quote. That quote will usually be significantly cheaper than the current renewal offer made by your current supplier.

Our process is very straightforward. Our expertly trained advisers are on hand to make sure each step is undertaken seamlessly. We’ll ask you questions relating to the supply of the business property, all of which can be found directly on your bill. A comparison is then generated. If accepted, our advisers will walk you through the application process.

Call us today on 0203 919 094 to get a quote now.

We can offer contracts that range from one to five years. Generally, the longer the contract, the more expensive it gets. However, a longer contract will give you security against price increases.

Some tariffs come with a free smart meter to help you monitor consumption of your usage.

Green tariffs are increasingly popular for tackling climate change. They’ll often be generated from 100% renewable energy. Though it’s essential to keep in mind, all tariffs include an element of renewable energy.

Charities and not for profit organisations pay 5% VAT and no Climate Change Levy (CCL). That brings the cost down, like for like against commercial organisations.

Introduced in 2001 by the then Government, it is a ‘Green' tax on businesses using energy.

The short answer is yes. As long as your business is run from home and the separation is documented on a VAT Declaration form (between what is domestic and what is commercial usage). For further guidelines, contact HMRC.

Feed-In tariffs are designed for establishments, both commercial and residential, that generate their own electricity. If you are able to sell excess energy to the grid, you’ll get money back.

FITs are separate agreements, and in most cases have no impact on tariffs offered by us. For more information on FITs, visit the Energy Savings Trust website.

No, energy companies are billing companies - their job is to look after the billing side. As a billing company, they're not involved in the generation and distribution of gas and electricity.

Green Energy comes from 100% renewable sources like wind, solar and hydro, whereas Brown Energy has an element that's Green. On average just under 33% of Brown Energy is Green while the rest is produced from fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas.

Your most recent bill will have all the information we need to give you an accurate quote, including:

  • The current supplier
  • Tariff name and end date
  • MPAN/MPR
  • How much energy is being used (in KWH or cost in pounds)

Don’t have all the information? Our expert advisers can still give you a quote.

The great advantage of a business contract is that we're able to book energy agreements 6-12m before your current contract ends.

If you‘re just moved into a new property, check if you're receiving electricity and the gas supply. If everything is working, ask the estate agent or outgoing tenant who the supplier is. Due to you being a new ‘business mover', the supply will be on “Deemed” or “Out of Contract” rates which are very expensive. Just give us a call on 0203 919 094 to get the best deal for your business.
