However, it can be more complex than domestic switching due to contract terms, notice periods, and credit checks. Planning ahead and having accurate information makes the process smoother.

An MPAN is a unique number for your electricity supply, while an MPRN is for your gas supply. Both identify the specific meter point at your property.

A business energy contract is an agreement between a business and an energy supplier for the supply of electricity and/or gas to commercial premises. It includes details like:

• Unit rates and standing charges

• Contract length (usually 1–5 years)

• Billing terms

• Renewal and termination conditions

Business energy contracts are usually fixed-rate and tailored to your usage. Unlike domestic contracts, they typically don’t have a cooling-off period, and prices are based on business size, credit rating, and consumption.

Usually, 3 to 6 months before your current contract ends date.

It is a UK government tax on business energy use (electricity and gas). It was introduced to encourage businesses to become more energy-efficient and reduce their carbon emissions.

Green energy is energy generated from natural, renewable sources that have a low or zero environmental impact, especially in terms of carbon emissions.

• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions

• Helps combat climate change

• Supports energy sustainability

• Often eligible for government incentives or recognition

If you don’t agree a new business energy contract after your current one expires, your supplier will usually move you to a default, out-of-contract, or deemed rate — and this can have serious consequences:

Higher costs – Deemed or out-of-contract rates are much more expensive than fixed deals

No price protection – Prices can change at short notice—often with no warning

No contract security – You’re on a rolling agreement with no fixed term or tariff

Ongoing charges – You’ll continue being charged, even if you’re not using the full supply

No, the energy price cap does not apply to business energy customers – it only applies to domestic (household) customers in the UK. 

To terminate your business energy contract after the agreed term, notify your supplier in writing (email or letter) usually 30 days before the contract ends, including your business details, account number, meter number, and intended termination date. Request confirmation and keep a copy for your records. 

As a broker, Utilitylinx earns its income through commissions paid by energy suppliers when we successfully secure contracts on behalf of our clients. Our commission is already built into the quoted price, so the amount you see includes our fee-there’s no extra cost to you. 

Yes, you can often get a discount or better overall pricing by bundling multiple business utility services (e.g., energy, broadband, phone, card machines) with the same provider or through a utility broker.

Benefits of Bundling:

• Lower overall costs

• Better contract terms or longer fixed-rate deals

• Dedicated support for all services in one place

However, always compare bundled deals with standalone offers to ensure you’re truly getting the best value.
