Most brokers just send rates. We track forward markets every day, so you know when to lock in — and when to wait.
Not like other
brokers.
The energy broker market has a transparency problem. Here's exactly what we do differently — and why it matters.
what we earn
every time.
Every broker earns a commission built into your unit rate. The industry allows up to 3p/kWh. Most brokers don't volunteer what they charge — and for larger, non-micro businesses, there's no legal obligation to disclose it at all, meaning the biggest energy users often have no idea what their broker is earning.
We average around 0.6p/kWh — a fraction of what the market allows. It's on your contract, and we'll tell you exactly what we earn at any point. For high-consumption businesses over 1,000,000 kWh, our commission never exceeds 0.7p/kWh.
when to wait.
Every other broker can find a reason to say "buy now" — whether prices are rising or falling. We track the forward curve every day and give you multiple quote refreshes. If the market data says hold off, we'll say so — even if that means not making a sale today.
No preferred deals.
No hidden incentives to favour one supplier over another. Just the full market, compared independently, every time.
When should you
be getting quotes?
Answer two quick questions and see whether now is the right time to compare, renew, or keep watching the market.
Out-of-contract rates are often significantly higher than a fixed deal.
We use this alongside today's forward curve to advise whether to act now or wait.

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.
