Lets face it! Shopping around and finding a competitive business’s electricity quote is not the most exciting subject in the world. However business electricity remains a constant high operational cost for many business’s and enterprises throughout the country. As a small energy supplier based in Manchester we know the industry inside and out. We have been helping business’s reduce their energy bills well over 15 years. Here we will try to share and pass on some inside industry knowledge, to help you find the very best possible deals on business electricity.
Fact 1 Understand when your current business energy tariff ends and more importantly it’s notice period.
Before you look for a business electricity quote, you need to know your current end date for your business electricity contract. You need to know this date before you even consider shopping around. It is a legal requirement these days for your contract end date to appear on your business electricity bills. Check your invoices for this date. Read the terms and conditions of your supplier and ensure you hand in notice pursuant to those terms. Differing energy suppliers will have varied notice periods ranging from 120,90,60 days. If you don’t hand in notice to your supplier accordingly, they may automatically renew your agreement.
Fact 2 Know your business energy rates in pence per kwh and standing charges.
So you know when your contract ends. Excellent. Now you need to understand its charges. Depending on your usage and the type of business you are. You need to look for the cheapest unit rate pence per kWh, and standing charges. Which generally make up the largest amount on your business electricity bill. Know what you’re paying pence per kWh and the amount of standing charge you are paying. Standing charge is a fixed amount you pay per day or month, similar to the charges of BT line rental. Some energy suppliers will have no standing charge and have a higher rate on pence per kWh. Having no standing charge may sound appealing but make sure you do the maths. No standing charge tariffs generally have higher pence per kWh rates to compensate, making this a no go for higher users of electricity.
Fact 3 Make sure your credit is of good standing.
All business electricity suppliers will credit check these days. In order to get lowest price on your business electricity quote, your business credit has also got to be good. Knowing your business credit rating in advance can help you avoid any unexpected surprises.

The majority of businesses require considerable more electricity than the average home. This can work in your favour as it can enhance your negotiation price with your commercial energy supplier – in most cases.
Finding the perfect deal for your commercial electricity rates can be quite tedious and time consuming.
As a result you will find that most businesses use a specialised energy broker experienced in energy negotiation, which is understandable. However most energy brokers will typically add in a margin on the unit rates and standing charge so they can generate a commission on the energy a businesses may consume. Therefore the most reliable way to getting the best deal is by directly calling commercial energy suppliers yourself and shopping around. You may be surprised about the fact that by speaking to a commercial energy supplier direct, like ourselves, you may able to get better commercial electricity rates.

In the 1990’s a deregulation occurred which changed the game. Both domestic and business energy customers all over the UK can become a customer to the energy supplier of your choice. Once you switch suppliers, the only change you will notice is a different company logo on your bill and considerably lower charges.
The ‘Big 6’ energy suppliers admittedly supply the majority of businesses in the UK but if you shop around, you should notice smaller, less popular suppliers could help you and your business save amounts you wouldn’t believe – it’s worth switching your investigation mode on!
