13% increase in Gas Prices (British Gas)

Today I rang British Gas to renew my business account and was told that next week gas prices are going up by 13% and electric prices will follow.

    Sales tactic to get you to comitt now? I haven't heard any rises, and some NI suppliers have even dropped prices last week.

    This is a Business account so will be treated differently. He may have been fixed for X years already and the 13% may still be a good deal. I would imagine the op needs to do his homework with all business suppliers to shop around to see if this is a good deal or not.
