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.
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.
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.
Trusted by UK businesses since 2014
Don't take our word for it.
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.
Smart Energy has advised us for over 5 years now, always responding quickly and sorting deals within hours, not days or weeks.
The regular updates on price movements and comparisons have allowed us to save money on our contracts over a number of years.

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.
Real client dispute · EDF
Incorrect bill issued

GSG Hospitality , a multi-site hospitality client, was issued an £85,000 bill by EDF .

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.

Frequently asked
questions.
The questions we get asked most. Plain answers, no jargon.
We earn a commission from the supplier you choose — it's built into the unit rate, just like with any broker. The difference? We tell you exactly what our commission is upfront, in writing, before you sign anything. You pay nothing directly to us, and there are no hidden fees. We're incentivised to find you a good deal because happy customers come back when their contract renews.
We compare rates from 28+ UK business energy suppliers — from well-known names like British Gas and EDF to specialist commercial suppliers like Crown Gas & Power and TEM Energy. We're not tied to any single supplier, so we recommend whoever genuinely offers the best fit for your business.
Once you've chosen a supplier, the switch typically completes in 2–5 business days. We handle all the paperwork and supplier communication — most customers spend less than 30 minutes total. There's no interruption to your supply; it's a behind-the-scenes process. Same pipes and wires, just a different company sending your bill.
Breaking a contract early isn't advisable — exit fees can be costly. The good news is we can agree your next contract up to 12 months before your current one ends. This lets us monitor the market and lock in the best rates at the right time. We'll remind you when it's time to review, so you never accidentally roll onto expensive out-of-contract rates.
We have direct relationships with suppliers, which means access to base rates they don't offer to customers who contact them directly. Even with our commission added, our prices tend to be significantly cheaper than renewal quotes you'd get going direct. Plus you get market comparison across 28+ suppliers, expert guidance on timing, and ongoing account management throughout your contract.
