Why compare business electricity prices?
If you haven’t reviewed your business electricity contract recently, you could be paying far more than you need to. The electricity market moves fast, and even small changes in your rate per kilowatt hour (kWh) can add up across a year.
We can help you if you are:
- Recently moved into new premises and have inherited a costly deemed rate contract.
- On an out-of-contract rate, meaning you’re automatically moved onto your supplier’s most expensive business electricity tariff.
- Due for renewal in the next few months.
- On a fixed-rate tariff agreed years ago, while newer deals offer better unit rates and lower standing charges.
- Running multiple business premises with high electricity usage, but missing access to commercial electricity rates.
- Paying for energy outside your peak hours because your electricity consumption pattern isn’t reflected in your tariff.
Our team at Business Utility Hub tracks electricity market prices every day, so we always know where the best deals are right now. One quick call is all it takes - we’ll review your usage, compare business electricity quotes nationwide and manage the switch for you.
The types of electricity tariffs to watch for
Not all business electricity contracts are created equal. If you are on, or believe you are on, one of the following types of tariffs, you may be significantly overspending on your business electricity:
- Standard Variable Tariff (SVT): with these plans, unit rates and standard charges can change, based on wholesale energy costs. This is often a default tariff with no exit fee.
- Deemed rates: This is your supplier’s default tariff if you move into new premises without arranging a contract, and is almost always set at the most expensive rate.
- Out-of-contract rates: Charged when your old agreement ends and you haven’t yet switched. These can be far higher than standard fixed tariffs.
If you think you’re on one of these or aren’t sure which type of business electricity tariff applies to you, give us a call today on 0800 781 2700. We’ll be happy to review your electricity supply and show you how much you could save by switching to a new deal

FAQ on how to switch business electricity
What is MHHS and do I need to do anything?
MHHS stands for Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement. It is an industry change led by Ofgem that will use half-hourly electricity data to make energy settlement more accurate.
For most businesses, the changes will happen behind the scenes. The impact on your business will depend on your meter type and supplier. If you do not have a smart meter or Automatic Meter Reading meter, you may need to upgrade so half-hourly usage data can be recorded.
Business Utility Hub can help you check your meter type and explain whether any action is needed.
What information do I need to compare business electricity?
To compare business electricity, it helps to have a few key details ready.
This usually includes your business address, current electricity supplier, account number, annual electricity usage, contract end date and the type of premises you operate from.
Your latest bill or smart meter data can help confirm usage and supply details. If you don’t have everything to hand, our team can guide you through what we need to get your business electricity comparison started.
How does the business electricity comparison process work?
Business Utility Hub keeps the process straightforward.
First, we’ll ask for a few details about your business, current supplier and electricity usage. We then compare business electricity tariffs, unit rates and standing charges from available suppliers.
Once we have suitable options, we’ll present them clearly and help you choose the energy contract that best fits your business. After that, we manage the switch for you.
How long does the switching process take?
The switching process depends on your current contract position, supplier requirements and whether all the right information is available.
Some switches are straightforward, while others can take longer if there are missing details, objections from the current supplier or complex meter arrangements. We’ll explain what needs to happen, manage the process where we can and keep you updated throughout.
How long does it take to get a quote?
Getting a business electricity quote can take just a few minutes, provided the right information is available.
Having your business address, current supplier, account number, annual usage and contract end date can help speed up the process. If you’re missing some details, we’ll help you find what is needed.
Do I need to speak to someone to get a quote?
A quick call allows us to understand your business, review your current electricity position and compare suitable supplier options. You’ll speak to a real person who can explain the details clearly and answer questions before you make a decision.
Is there any cost for comparing business electricity deals?
There is no upfront cost for using Business Utility Hub’s service.
BUH’s commission comes from the supplier. We’ll provide transparent advice, and commission can be disclosed on request.
Will comparing energy affect my current contract?
Comparing business electricity options does not automatically change your current contract.
It allows us to review your current position, check available supplier options and explain whether there may be a better energy contract for your business. Your contract will only change if you choose to proceed with a new agreement.
Why should your business be using an energy specialist instead of searching for suppliers?
Business energy prices change regularly, and not every supplier or tariff will be suitable for every business.
Using an energy specialist means you do not have to search the market alone. Business Utility Hub checks business energy prices every day, compares supplier options and explains the details clearly, including unit rates, standing charges and contract terms.
We focus purely on business gas and electricity, so our expertise is concentrated on energy. We also manage the switching process, reduce admin and provide ongoing support through a dedicated account manager.
