If you run a small business, then energy bills are probably one of the highest costs you face. Business electricity and gas prices have been rising over the last few years, but it’s not all bad news.

Business electricity and gas usage is usually much higher than domestic usage, putting you in the perfect position to negotiate a better deal for your business. As a result of increased competition between energy suppliers, you could be making huge savings on your business electricity and gas simply by switching to a different supplier.
