One positive outcome of the ongoing economic downturn has been the continual springing up of small and micro businesses across the UK as many people laid off from their old jobs decide to strike out on their own and use their talents to run their own business, from graphic designers to shops, cake makers to plumbers.
Many have enjoyed great success as their experience has proved invaluable. If you are one of those small businesses that has launched in the past year or two, congratulations. However, there is no time for complacency. Now is the time to take control of your business electricity and gas contracts. Cheap business electricity contracts and low business gas prices do exist; it’s just a matter of seeking them out.
Business energy is not the most exciting thing for many small and micro businesses to think about, it’s true – in the midst of launching a business, building up clients and reaping the rewards of your hard work and dedication it’s all too easy to grow complacent or forget completely about business utilities.
However, while it may not be the most fascinating, it is vitally important. Without business electricity and gas think of all the things you couldn’t do – from running your online store to making a cup of tea!
It’s also vitally important that you are getting a good deal on business energy contracts. Cheap business electricity and gas is a crucial requirement for small businesses to balance the books and make a profit.
Business electricity and gas contracts are a little different to domestic energy contracts. When you take up a deal you will be locked into it for a period of months (usually a year) by your business electricity suppliers and one thing to be extremely aware of is when that contract period is up.
One thing is very certain: you are most unlikely to get the best deal for your business energy if you stick with the same supplier and allow yourself to be rolled over into a new contract. The window of opportunity for switching your energy supplier is typically a rather small one, so you must act quickly.
The trouble is, of course, time is one of the most precious commodities to a small business – any of us who run one or work within one will know that there is never enough time to get everything done. Business gas and electricity contracts can, therefore, easily fall to the wayside and get forgotten about until it’s too late any you find yourself tied into another new and expensive contract.
For that reason, many small businesses employ the services of a business energy broker.
