It’s an exciting time moving your business into a new premises, or opening a business for the first time. However, despite all the excitement, there’s lots to think about. From paying contractors to installing equipment and hiring staff for your new site, the checklist may feel endless. Getting everything ticked off before the grand opening will save you from headaches later down the line.
One of the most important elements to tick off your list and to ensure you have set up and ready to go, is your business utilities. With this handy checklist, you can guarantee you’ve got everything covered so your new premises are supplied with the gas, electricity, and water required to keep you up and running.
The following checklist includes everything you need to cover business utilities for your new premises:
1 – Compare business energy prices
To start you will want to compare business energy prices from various energy suppliers. Using a comparison site or getting a variety of quotes and details of tariffs from a selection of energy companies will help you in finding the right tariff for your business.
2 – Set up a new business energy contract before opening
Before your opening it is important to have selected the provider to supply your business energy and water. This way, you won’t have problems in the long-term with bills. Having decided upon a tariff you can begin paying a good monthly rate for your utilities that works for your budget. Rather than being placed on a deemed tariff by an existing supplier and overpaying for your business energy.
3 – Give your provider accurate meter readings
The next, most essential step, is getting accurate meter readings and supplying these to your energy company. Giving your provider meter readings as soon as you move into the premises will help to ensure your bills are accurate from the get-go.
4 – Consider installing business smart meters
Finally you should consider installing smart meters for your business. Not only will these provide you real-time insight into your energy usage but will send data directly to your energy provider, to save you the hassle of taking regular meter readings in the future.
