Why Smart Energy

Energy advice. Built around your business.

Business energy is about more than securing a rate. The right advice, the right timing and the right support can make a significant difference over the life of a contract.

Get My Free Quotes See today's market report →

One dedicated account manager

A single point of contact who knows your business, your sites and your renewal dates. No call queues, no starting over each time.

Market expertise, not guesswork

We track the wholesale market every day and use that data to advise on the right time to secure your contract — guidance tailored to your renewal, not a generic signal.

A genuinely low-pressure approach

Advice first. We won't hound you with calls or marketing, and we'll happily tell you to hold off if that's the smarter move.

Transparent by default

Our commission is disclosed in writing on every contract. Most brokers bury theirs in your unit rate.

Weekly market updates Beat my broker

Why use a broker?

Why not just go direct?

You can — here's the difference a dedicated adviser makes.

Managing it yourself

Contacting suppliers and comparing rates, one at a time.
You're comparing one supplier's prices at a time.
Timing your renewal is left to your own judgement.
Billing queries go directly to the supplier.
Keeping track of your renewal date is up to you.
The calls, emails and admin sit with you.

Having an adviser on your side

One conversation covers 28+ suppliers — we do the legwork and present the options clearly.
We compare the wider market, which often uncovers more competitive pricing than one supplier alone.
Daily market intelligence and timing advice, tailored to your renewal.
We handle billing queries and supplier admin for you.
We track your renewal and flag it in good time.
Our commission is paid by the supplier and disclosed in writing before you sign.

But can't I get it cheaper by going direct?

Sometimes a direct offer is competitive — but on your own, there's no way to know. Loyalty isn't always rewarded with a better price, and a renewal or rollover offer isn't always the most competitive one available. Comparing the wider market is the only reliable way to understand whether the price you're being offered is genuinely competitive

Many of our clients came to us after trying to manage renewals themselves. Others simply prefer having an adviser they can call when something goes wrong.

Most of our business comes from renewals, referrals and long-term relationships — many clients have been with us for years.

I've worked with a lot of energy brokers and unfailingly they just want a quick transaction after a 5-minute call. Smart Energy sent us weekly pricing and shared market insights for months before we signed. How could we use anyone else.

Trust matters most when something goes wrong — and that's where we're at our best.

Support beyond the switch

The contract isn't the end. It's the beginning.

Switching is the easy part. The real value is everything we do afterwards — and when something goes wrong, we fight your corner.

GSG Hospitality , a multi-site hospitality client, was issued an £85,000 bill by EDF . We challenged it on their behalf — requesting a full statement of account and updated meter reads, and applying Ofgem's back-billing principles — and managed the dispute through to a corrected liability of £2,158.85 .

Years of stalled paperwork, finally done

A client had spent years trying, on their own, to reduce their kVA capacity and move from a CT half-hourly meter to a whole-current meter. We took it on — managing the applications, the technical process and the renewal pricing — and got it done.

Smart Energy — Section 9 (FAQ)

Got a question?

Your questions, answered.

Straight answers, no jargon. If yours isn't here, a real adviser is happy to help.

Get My Free Quotes Still have questions? →

How does Smart Energy make money?

We're paid a commission by the supplier you choose, built into the unit rate — and we show you exactly what it is, in writing, before you sign. You pay us nothing directly, and there are no hidden fees.

Will you bombard me with calls or emails?

No. We're a low-pressure adviser, not a call centre. We'll respond quickly, give you honest advice, and then leave the timing to you.

Do I need a bill or any technical details to start?

No. The quickest route is to upload a recent bill and we'll do the rest — but if you don't have one, just answer a few quick questions. No MPANs or jargon needed.

How quickly will I hear back?

Usually the same working day — often sooner. A real adviser reviews your details and calls you with your options.

How much could I save?

It depends on your usage, current contract, the market and your renewal timing — which is exactly why we compare the wider market and advise on when to buy. We'll always be straight with you about what's realistic. You can get a rough idea with our bill calculator →

When should I start looking?

You can secure your next contract up to 12 months before your current one ends. We track the market daily and advise when the timing looks right for you. When to renew →

What if I'm mid-contract or have already renewed?

No problem — we'll note your renewal date and come back to you in good time, so you're never caught out by out-of-contract rates.

What are out-of-contract rates?

The (usually expensive) rates you roll onto if a contract lapses. We make sure that doesn't happen to you. Out-of-contract rates →

How many suppliers do you compare?

28+ UK business energy suppliers — from British Gas and EDF to specialist commercial suppliers — with no preferred-supplier deals. Compare suppliers →

Can you help with billing disputes or supplier problems?

Yes — it's one of the things clients value most. We challenge incorrect bills, handle the supplier admin and fight your corner (see the EDF example above). Energy disputes →

Why use a broker instead of going direct?

One conversation instead of 28+, a view of the wider market, advice on timing, dispute support and ongoing management — at no extra cost to you.

Do you cover multi-site, half-hourly or larger businesses?

Yes — from single-site SMEs to multi-site portfolios, HH meters, kVA reviews and full tendering. Multi-site → · HH meters & kVA →

How long does switching take?

Once you've chosen, it's typically 2–5 working days. There's no interruption to your supply — same pipes and wires, just a different company billing you.

Is there any obligation?

None. Quotes are free and there's no commitment until you decide to go ahead.

No pressure · Whenever you're ready

You've got a dedicated adviser on your side.

No hard sell. Send a recent bill or just ask a question — a real adviser takes it from there, usually the same working day.
