We compare 30+UK energy & water suppliers.
No preferential supplier relationships. No marketing agreements. Every audit compares business electricity and gas prices across a broad panel of UK suppliers. We look beyond the headline price, reviewing unit rates, standing charges, contract length and tariff structure to help ensure your contract is right for your business. We can also review your water contract separately, taking into account its own market and renewal date. Complete a free audit today and uncover opportunities you may be missing.

Your business
Adjust to match your situation.
Specialists, not generalists.
We focus on four UK sectors where energy is a serious cost line and the savings are big enough to matter. We don't dabble in offices and warehouses. We go deep where we can help most.
Restaurants
Kitchen-heavy, gas-intensive. Outdated tariffs quietly drain margins that were already thin.
Save up to 55% on gasCare Homes
24/7 heating loads, tight regulated margins, and 5% VAT eligibility most owners don't claim.
5% VAT + 40% bill savingsHotels & B&Bs
Multiple energy systems, seasonal swings, and contracts rarely matched to actual usage.
Save up to 45% overallBakeries & Food Production
The most gas-intensive sector in the UK. CCA-eligible operators can also reduce CCL by up to 92%.

Click any line to see where the money goes.
UK business energy bills are deliberately confusing. Most operators have no idea what they're paying for. Click each line below to learn what it means, what's negotiable, and where the overcharging usually hides.
Sample UK business energy bill
Unit rate
This is the single largest line on most UK business bills and the line where overcharging is most common. When your contract ends and rolls onto a "deemed" or "out-of-contract" rate, this number can double overnight, and most operators never notice. This is why your energy contract renewal date is one of the most important dates in your business calendar, giving you the opportunity to review your options before being tied into a new contract.
The market price moves daily. Your contract locks in a rate. This is where an experienced energy consultant can help you make a more informed decision and avoid costly mistakes.

What our partner network actually delivers.

£31,000 saved for a charity-owned hotel in Tenby

A Welsh Nisa Local owner discovered he was on a fixed tariff that didn't track his real usage racking up hidden arrears. A new contract and longer payment schedule fixed it cleanly.
Read the case studyRestaurants & Retail£3,782 off a two-year electricity contract
A West Sussex newsagent left his supplier over poor service, not price. One ten-minute call produced a lower unit rate and no standing charge at all, worth £157 a month.
Read the case studyHotels & HospitalityLeisure Resorts five parks, one energy partner
A 180-staff, five-park holiday operator outsourced its entire energy function. The partner network handles every contract, renewal, and even acquisitions of new parks saving the group internal headcount.
Read the case studyRestaurants & Retail£20,000 saved by buying energy before the renewal letter
A Nisa Local convenience store started buying on the market's timetable rather than its own. Four contracts later, including 2027 rates locked ahead of disruption, that is over £20,000 saved.

L.M. Liveries LLP ran seven separately metered sites with seven end dates. Consolidating them onto one date turned seven jobs a year into one, at around 40% below the market rates that followed.

M. Chapmans & Sons hold a steady production temperature, so energy is a cost of goods. Waiting seven months for the right moment beat every competing broker quote.
Read the case studyRestaurants & RetailBetter prices, renewals handled, zero auto renewals
