Buying or renewing energy?
We compare fixed business electricity and gas options, review timing and use the right pricing route for the size and complexity of the requirement.

Compare business energy options from 28+ UK suppliers, backed by daily wholesale-market intelligence and a named adviser who stays with you after you sign.
Smart Energy supports UK businesses with more than contract comparison. From business energy procurement and multi-site renewals to billing disputes, Change of Tenancy, metering and kVA reviews, the route depends on the problem you actually need solved.
We compare fixed business electricity and gas options, review timing and use the right pricing route for the size and complexity of the requirement.
Unit rates are only part of the bill. Meter configuration, available capacity and technical charging can create costs that a standard renewal comparison never touches.
If the issue is already live, we help establish the evidence, challenge incorrect billing and deal with the supplier rather than leaving you to chase departments yourself.
Not sure which service fits? Start with the issue, not the jargon. The full services hub explains every route and what information we need from you.

Smart Energy combines business energy procurement, daily wholesale-market monitoring and ongoing account support. We help businesses decide when to act and stay involved when billing, metering or supplier issues appear after the contract starts.
We compare business energy options across 28+ UK suppliers, but price is only one part of the decision. Contract dates, wholesale-market movement, term, supplier appetite and the needs of your site all affect when and how you should buy.
Your outsourced energy department.
Procurement, renewals, market intelligence, billing support, Change of Tenancy, metering, kVA and supplier escalation — one point of contact for the commercial energy issues your business actually has to deal with.
The process is straightforward. We identify the supply and contract position, decide how the requirement should be priced, then explain the commercial options clearly. You decide whether to proceed.
A recent business energy bill is useful, but not essential. We can start with your supply details and identify anything else we need.
We check the supply, annual usage, contract position and meter type, then use the appropriate procurement route for the requirement.
Supplier, contract term, price, timing and commission are explained clearly so you can compare the commercial options without deciphering a rate sheet.
If the option is right, you contract directly with the chosen energy supplier. If it is not, there is no obligation to proceed.
More complex requirement? Half-hourly, multi-site and technical supplies may need a different route. Explore all business energy services →
Start my business energy quoteA business energy contract is a commercial decision, not a mystery box. Our commission is disclosed in writing before you sign, you have a named adviser, and the company details behind Smart Energy can be checked independently.
“His regular updates on electricity price movements and comparisons have allowed us to save money on our contracts over a number of years.”
“Tom is exceptional, went above and beyond in order to navigate us through a tricky situation. Can’t recommend enough.”
Trust is more useful when it is checkable. Reviews, company registration, complaints membership and commission disclosure are presented here so you do not have to rely on claims alone.
Business energy has enough jargon already. These are the practical questions we are asked most often before a business decides what to do next.
No manufactured urgency and no need to understand every industry acronym first. We establish the contract and supply position, explain the options and tell you what we think the sensible next step is.
A recent bill is useful, but it is not essential. We can start from the supply details, such as an MPAN or MPRN, or use the site address where necessary. A bill usually makes it quicker to confirm the current supplier, contract position and usage.
There is no single month that is automatically the “right” time to buy. The decision depends on your contract end date, the wholesale market, the term you are considering and how much price risk you are comfortable carrying. We monitor the market and explain whether we think it makes sense to act or hold.
For most contracts we handle, a separate termination letter is not normally needed to move supplier at the agreed contract end date. We still check the existing contract position before arranging anything so the new supply start is lined up correctly.
Where a supply is eligible to move immediately, a supplier transfer can often complete in around 2–5 working days. If you are arranging a future renewal, the new contract will normally be set to start when the existing fixed contract ends.
Where commission is included within an energy contract, it is paid by the supplier. Our commission is disclosed in writing before you sign, so the commercial terms are clear before you decide whether to proceed.
Yes. We can review an existing supplier offer, renewal proposal or another broker’s prices. The point is not simply to undercut it — we look at the rate, term, structure and timing so you can decide whether the offer itself makes sense.
Yes. We handle supplier disputes, incorrect billing, Change of Tenancy issues and supplier escalation. We start by establishing the evidence and liability position rather than treating every account problem as a procurement exercise. See Energy Disputes.
Yes. We work with Half-Hourly supplies, available-capacity reviews, Change of Measurement Class, metering issues and multi-site portfolios. Where a more technical or bespoke pricing route is needed, we treat it differently from a standard SME renewal. Explore all services.
Start with the basics. We’ll take it from there.
Tell us who you are and whether you need electricity, gas or both. Add a note or recent bill if it helps — if not, we can gather the supply and contract detail afterwards.
