Cheapest Electricity For a Small Business

If you run a small business in the UK you'll want to have the lowest costs for your energy bills including electric and gas.

You can get an instant online quote to find cheap small business electricity from all the major UK suppliers including British Gas, Npower and the other 4 major energy suppliers to reduce costs.

British Gas Small Business Electricity

Perhaps the biggest player in the business electricity market is British Gas and they offer excellent deals which you can get an online quote in a matter of 60 seconds and depending on your current costs can save you up to £850 in your first year.


Npower Small Business Electricity

The other major player in the small business electricity market is Npower who can also provide gas and electricity for businesses.


Green Small Business Electricity

All of the major energy providers can either supply you direct with renewable energy or will match your energy consumption from renewable green sources depending on the type of tariff you choose. Most of these contracts from the big 6 will carry a premium over standard tariffs.

However there are now dedicated companies that offer exclusively green energy but will price match companies such as British Gas or Npower and one such provider is ecotricity.


Other Small Business Energy Companies

As mentioned above the big 6 energy providers that provide domestic gas and electricity also provide to businesses as this market is lucrative (rather like the banks). You can get business energy supplies for your small business from all the following companies: British Gas, Npower, eon, green energy, Scottish Power and Southern Electric (part of the Scottish and Southern Group), utility warehouse (although there are additional fees and the most competitive tariff is not always offered), EDF energy, SWALEC (if you are based in Wales), Opus Energy, Shell and CNG.

You need to be aware that some contracts only allow you to change supplier at certain times although for micro businesses ofgem have recently made changes to this system so that switching is a lot easier for smaller businesses.

All of these companies offer you the ability to get instant online quotes for your business but simply entering your meter registration number and your business address. Furthermore, if you find a company you like then please also give them a telephone call to negotiate your pricing and tariff discounts. But first of all why not get an online quote from British Gas to see how they compare whether you currently use them for your small business already or not.
