Keeping on top of your business utilities does not have to be complicated. Money Expert makes it easy to compare business energy deals online, cutting out the need to approach suppliers one by one. For broadband and water supply, our expert guidance gives you the knowledge to make confident, informed decisions and get the best value for your business.
Business energy tariffs work differently to domestic plans. Prices are negotiated on the basis of your company's usage, contract terms, and industry type, which means there is no single published rate — and no guarantee that your current deal is competitive. Money Expert offers a full online comparison and switching service for business energy, so if you want to compare tariffs and switch to a better deal, you can do so directly.
A reliable broadband connection is essential for almost every business. Business broadband packages offer faster upload speeds, static IP addresses, priority customer support, and service level agreements that domestic packages do not include. Our guide explains what to look for and how business packages differ from home broadband.
The non-domestic water market in England has been open to competition since 2017, meaning most businesses can choose their water retailer. Many have never reviewed their supply contract. Our guide explains how the market works, what affects your bill, and how switching works.
For most businesses, utilities are a recurring fixed cost that rarely gets reviewed once it is set up. That inertia can be expensive. Suppliers rely on contract rollovers and a lack of comparison activity to maintain customers on rates that may no longer reflect market conditions. A review of all three utility areas - even if you only switch one - is time well spent.
Money Expert has been helping customers compare and save since 2003. We offer impartial comparisons and guidance across a wide range of business products, with no fees and no obligation.
Money Expert offers a full online comparison and switching service for business energy — gas and electricity. For broadband and water supply, we provide guides explaining how the markets work and what to consider, but do not currently offer a direct comparison tool for those products.
Switching is generally straightforward, though the process varies by utility type. Business energy switches typically take four to six weeks and require coordination between your old and new supplier. Broadband switches depend on your current contract and provider. Water switching in England is handled by your new retailer, who manages the process on your behalf.
Not necessarily. The right time to switch depends on when your individual contracts are up for renewal. Switching mid-contract often carries exit fees, so it is worth checking the terms of each agreement first. If multiple contracts are expiring around the same time, reviewing them together can simplify the process.
Yes, in several important ways. Business energy is priced individually rather than from a standard tariff list. Business broadband packages include features like SLA-backed uptime guarantees and static IP addresses that domestic packages do not. Business water customers can choose their retailer in most of England, which is not the case for domestic customers.
