You won't find us through price comparison websites or energy brokers

We're always finding ways to give businesses better value

It's our responsibility to make business energy work for our customers. That's why we focus on keeping our prices fair, our products useful and our tech innovative.

Doing so means being transparent and avoiding things that push up costs for our businesses.

We don’t work with energy brokers

Around 2 in 3 small businesses use a broker to find their energy deals. Lots of brokers say they'll save you time and effort by finding the best tariff. Some also claim to offer better deals by bulk-buying tariffs from suppliers.

In reality, these brokers often offer inflated tariffs to customers. They get commission from suppliers when people take up higher offers, which makes energy more expensive and less transparent for businesses.

The bulk-buying doesn’t really reduce the cost either. Energy suppliers already use the fact that they supply lots of households and businesses to negotiate lower wholesale rates. In other words, our customers benefit from this collective negotiation anyway - so there’s no extra benefit to using a broker.

All in all,?we don’t think the broker system is fair. That’s why we’ve never worked with them.

We’ve stopped working with price comparison websites too

Small businesses who use these can end up paying more than if they’d gone direct to the supplier - up to ￡150 more in some cases. This doesn’t fit with our goal of giving our businesses fair prices and not letting them get ripped off.

We’ve even spoken to the government about this issue. We hope we can be part of a bigger solution by championing more clarity in the market.
