From postcode to signed contract in three simple steps
A closer look at exactly how we compare business energy prices, how the switch is triggered, and what happens between clicking 'accept' and your first bill on the new tariff.
You share the basics
A postcode is enough to start. If you have a bill, we'll take your MPAN/MPRN, current supplier and contract end date to sharpen the numbers.
We quote the whole panel
20+ UK suppliers priced side-by-side. You see total annual cost, unit rate, standing charge and contract length in one view — no cherry-picking.
We handle the switch
Accept the tariff you like. We serve notice to your old supplier, register the new contract and coordinate the final meter reads — with zero disruption to your supply.
How it works — FAQs
How does comparing business energy prices with Energy Tariff work?
Tell us your postcode and a few details about your business. We check live rates from our panel of UK suppliers, present the best-value tariffs for your usage profile, and — if you're happy — handle the switch for you end to end. There's no paperwork and no interruption to your supply.
Is it free to compare business energy prices?
Yes. Our comparison service is completely free for UK businesses. We're paid a commission by the supplier you choose to switch to, which is factored into the unit rate — it never adds extra cost on top of your quote.
Will comparing my rates affect my current contract?
No. Requesting a comparison is completely non-binding and doesn't change anything with your current supplier. You'll only switch when you formally accept a new contract with a new supplier.
How long does it take to switch business energy supplier?
Most switches complete within 4-6 weeks. Ofgem's rules guarantee a smooth transfer with no loss of supply, and your new supplier handles the meter reads and communication with your old one.
Do I need to be out of contract to compare prices?
No — you can compare at any time. Most business energy contracts have a renewal window (typically 1-6 months before the end date) when you can lock in new rates. We'll flag if you're in-window so you don't miss it.
What information do I need to get a quote?
Ideally have a recent energy bill handy — we'll ask for your postcode, business name, current supplier, contract end date if known, and your annual usage (kWh) or spend. Don't worry if you don't have everything; we can usually work from a postcode alone for an initial indication.
