What to look for when you compare business electricity quotes

Here are the top five most important factors to consider when comparing business electricity quotes:

Flex or fixed rates

Fixed or variable quotes

In all business energy contracts, you’ll pay for each unit (kWh) of electricity used. In a fixed tariff, the cost for each kWh remains the same throughout the contract. In a variable tariff, the cost quoted at the start of the contract may fluctuate with market conditions.

Contract term

Electricity tariff length

Business electricity quotes for small business energy customers are typically offered for between one and three years. Early termination fees for businesses are very expensive, except when moving properties, so it’s crucial to consider the right contract length commitment for your business.

direct debit

Payment terms

A business electricity tariff will define how business energy bills must be paid during the contract. Some suppliers mandate payment by direct debit, while others require an upfront deposit held for the duration of the contract. Choose payment terms that suit your business.

Business energy suppliers

Supplier reputation

Reputation is essential when choosing an electricity supplier for your business. With a business electricity tariff, you’ll be locked in with a supplier for years, so look for a reliable provider with a proven reputation for delivering quality customer service.

Standing charge

Estimated annual cost

When our energy experts provide business electricity quotes, we use historic meter readings to estimate how much electricity your business consumes annually. We calculate an estimated annual cost for each quote, allowing you to compare them fairly.

Can I compare business electricity quotes on a variable tariff?

Yes, variable business electricity tariffs typically have no fixed end date, and you’re free to switch business energy suppliers at any time.

There is no price cap in the commercial electricity market, and energy suppliers often charge unnecessarily expensive rates on their out-of-contract variable tariffs.

Businesses on variable contracts can typically save between 40% and 50% by comparing business electricity quotes.

To compare business electricity quotes on a variable tariff, simply select “I’m out-of-contract” on our smart comparison form. Our business electricity experts will then provide you with a comparison report of quotes on a “switch as soon as possible” basis.

Common mistakes to avoid when you compare business electricity quotes

Choosing a new electricity contract might seem straightforward, but there are a few easy-to-make mistakes that could cost your business in the long run. Here are three important points to watch out for:

Analyse

Focusing only on the unit rate

A low price per kWh on a quote can look attractive, but if it’s paired with a high business energy standing charge, your total costs could still be higher. Always compare the total estimated cost, not just the unit rate.

hassle-free

Assuming switching is too much hassle

Many businesses stick with their current supplier because they think switching will be disruptive. In reality, the switch is handled behind the scenes, and power supplies will not be interrupted.

End of contract

Not being aware of your contract end date

Business electricity tariffs can automatically roll over and lock customers into unfavourable fixed tariffs. Set reminders and start comparing quotes months before your current contract’s end date.
