Business energy contract types explained
Choosing the right contract is as important as the rate. Here are the main types of business energy contract you will come across.
Fixed-rate contract
Your unit rate and standing charge are locked in for the term, protecting you from price rises and making budgeting simple. The most popular choice for businesses.
Variable-rate contract
Your rate moves with the wholesale market. You benefit when prices fall but carry the risk when they rise, so it suits businesses watching the market closely.
Deemed rate
Applies when you move into new premises without agreeing a contract. These are among the most expensive rates, so switch as soon as you can.
Out-of-contract rate
Kicks in when your fixed deal ends and you have not renewed. Often 40% to 60% higher than a negotiated deal, so it pays to act before your end date.
Rollover contract
Some suppliers automatically renew you onto a new fixed term if you do not give notice. Convenient, but rarely the cheapest rate available.
Flexible / pass-through
Larger users can buy energy in tranches to manage risk, with costs passed through as they change. Procurement-led and best suited to high-consumption sites.

Your questions, answered
How do I compare business energy prices?
Enter your business postcode to start a comparison, and we will show live rates from our supplier panel matched to your usage. Have a recent bill and your meter numbers to hand for the most accurate quote, or call us on 01242 32 31 31 and we will do it for you.
Is the comparison really free?
Yes. Our service is completely free with no obligation to switch. We earn a commission from suppliers for every valid business energy introduction, which never changes the price you pay.
How much could my business save?
Savings vary by usage and your current contract, but businesses save an average of £1,952 when they switch with us. Those stuck on out-of-contract or deemed rates often save the most.
Will switching interrupt my energy supply?
No. The switch is seamless and handled by the National Grid, so the same gas and electricity flow to your premises. Only your billing and rates change. It usually completes within 4 to 6 weeks.
When should I start comparing?
Start comparing three to six months before your contract ends. That lets you secure a new rate before being rolled onto expensive out-of-contract rates. We can track your renewal window for you.
Can you help with multiple sites?
Yes. We can compare and consolidate energy across several premises onto one account, even where contracts end on different dates. Larger and multi-site businesses often save more by speaking to our team directly.
