Gas Pricing For Small Retail Shop/Business - Help Appreciated

Hi all

I own a small(ish) retail shop and notice that my British Gas contract has now expired and I'm on a 'Variable Price Plan'.

My very minimal understanding is that although prices for gas are due to increase very shortly once again.........that most gas companies have already put the new pricing in place and if I were to move to a fixed contract I'd be signing up at the higher rates anyway (I'm poss completely wrong).

My question is - is it best to stay variable at mo and hope pricing may reduce or even at this stage should I move it to a fixed contract?

Anyone with any knowledge please comment as I'm totally honest in my understanding of it being rather poor.

Thanks in advance.
P.S. Based in Scotland incase that impacts anything on costings/plans.
