Setting Up Energy for a New Business
Arranging electricity and gas is one of many things to organise when starting a new business, and it works a little differently without an established trading history. Suppliers typically run a credit check as part of setting up a new commercial account, and may ask for a deposit, a guarantor, or offer a shorter initial contract term where a business is newly formed.
None of this is unusual, and it does not mean a new business cannot get a competitive contract. Having a clear idea of your premises type, expected opening hours and any energy-intensive equipment (kitchen equipment, machinery, servers, and so on) helps a specialist put together a realistic estimated usage figure to start with.

What Information We Need
To give you the most useful review, it helps if you can provide:

- Expected opening/trading date
- A contact name, phone number and business email
- Premises type and any energy-intensive equipment
- Whether you need electricity, gas, or both
Don't have everything to hand? That's fine - fill in what you can and a specialist can help with the rest.
