Business Energy Support

Most North East businesses are paying more than they need to on energy, especially in 2026. We check your rates, find the savings, and you don't lift a finger.

UK SMEs overpay on business energy bills by an average of £2,400/year

 

 

Your accountant reviews your tax every year. But when did anyone last look at what you're paying for energy?​

When your energy contract ends, you don't stay on your old rate. You roll onto "deemed" or out-of-contract rates, which are almost always the most expensive tariff your supplier charges. Every day you sit there, it costs you.

 

And the one thing most people aren't aware of is long-term energy prices have actually come down significantly in 2026. If nobody's told you that, you're probably still paying like it's 2024.

Your accountant might've saved you £400 in tax. We could save you thousands on energy.

You're energy bills and what we check

Most businesses don't realise their contract has ended. When it does, suppliers quietly move you onto deemed rates: the most expensive tariff they offer. No letter. No warning. Just a bigger bill.

 

We catch it. We fix it. One photo of your bill, that's it.

How it works. Three steps, zero hassle.

No sales pitch. No obligation. The average North East premises cuts utility overheads by around 22%.
