So, your businesses energy contract is coming to an end and your struggling to find a supplier that suits your business? Lucky for you, we have the answer.
Firstly, let’s ensure the process of ending your current contract goes as smoothly as possible.
Can I Switch?
Switching your energy supplier can be a big hassle to organise. To get started, you’ll need to check some details about your current contract, and make sure you can switch.
The number one way to secure the best energy deal for your business is to regularly switch suppliers to find more competitive tariffs. Even if you are happy with your energy deal right now, it is still absolutely worth checking whether there might be a better deal for your business!
Be aware that most commercial contracts usually provide a very narrow switching window before the end of your contract, this is why it’s important to find out your business energy contract date as soon as possible. If you don’t inform your supplier of your plans to switch within the switching window, there is a risk that you will be automatically placed on an expensive rollover contract that
will be difficult to get out of.
You’ll normally be able to switch to a new business energy supplier if:
• you’re not tied in to your contract – it’s important to check when your contract ends and how much notice you’ll need to give if you want to switch
• you’re on a ‘default’ or ‘deemed’ tariff – this is a tariff you didn’t choose to be on, for example if you’ve taken over a new premises or your old deal has expired.
To check your end date:
• Check your current bill or original contract
• Wait for your End of Tariff Notification
• Contact your energy supplier
What next?
Once this is all complete, and your contract is coming to an end, your business will be on the market for a brand new energy supplier.
Most websites will encourage you to spend hours searching through comparison sites, and feel free to do so! But you may be surprised to find there’s not as many tariffs as usual, this is because many energy companies are struggling. Besides, after a while, that can feel like a chore. We want to take the work out of switching.
