Business energy help - small business

adidas

How can you easily compare business energy costs? Most websites want you to call them up directly. Any ideas?

Is there any help available for small businesses at the moment?

From reading this forum I understand there are energy brokers who can offer tariff advice to businesses, but also that some of them are sharks and you need to be really careful not to accidentally enter into a contract.

Business energy doesn't have any of the consumer protections that domestic energy does.

I agree with @QrizB - I compare the energy broker industry with double glazing salesmen.   I am still be pursued by brokers from years ago.

@adidas Contact the suppliers direct. Are you actually out of contract ? You can only change a month before end of contract.

I know that Octopus (who are a relatively reputable domestic supplier)also offer business tariffs. You can see their current tariffs online here:

Don't press the "get a quote" button, but scroll down a bit and enter your postcode then wait for the tariffs to appear. Filter on "business" to hide the domestic ones.
