Your information, protected
We only use your details to put together your energy review.
One Review, Every Option On The Table
Whether it is power, gas, or both, we check commercial electricity rates across the whole market rather than working from a single supplier list - giving you a genuine business electricity comparison, not just one quote.
Business Electricity
A whole-of-market comparison on your current contract - we look at the price per kilowatt hour you’re paying now and benchmark it against current small business electricity pricing across the market.
Compare electricityBusiness Gas
We check commercial gas rates across UK suppliers - including the cheapest business gas rates for UK care homes and other regulated sectors - and flag your renewal date so you don’t slip onto a pricier out-of-contract rate.

Renewable-backed tariff options reviewed alongside standard contracts, where available for your business.

Ofgem's guidance on Supply Licence Conditions 7.3 and 7.4 sets out two main situations where a deemed contract arises: a business begins consuming energy at a premises without having agreed a contract (most commonly when moving into new premises), or an existing contract comes to an end with no provision for what follows and the business keeps consuming energy regardless. In both cases, the supplier is entitled to supply you - but on its own deemed terms, not a negotiated one.
No agreed contract, new premises
Starting to consume energy at a site before any supply contract is arranged is the most common route into a deemed contract.
Contract ends, nothing arranged
If a fixed-term contract ends and you keep consuming energy with no renewal or follow-on arrangement in place, this can also result in deemed terms.
Highest standard rates apply
Deemed rates are generally the supplier's highest published unit rates and standing charges - there is no negotiated discount built in.
Not the same as "out of contract"
Out-of-contract tariffs (what you move to when a fixed term simply expires without a deemed scenario) are a related but separate issue - see our tariff penalties guide.
You Can Switch Off a Deemed Contract With No Penalty
Under Ofgem's rules, a deemed contract cannot carry a fixed term, a termination fee, or a notice period before you switch. If you discover you are on deemed rates, you are free to arrange a new contract and move away immediately - the sooner you compare your options, the sooner you are off the supplier's highest rates.
