Energy 4 Businesses are compensated in a simple way by all the business energy suppliers on our panel for introducing our customers to their gas and/or electricity and associated services.

​

We receive our commission from the supplier, you as the customer will never be asked to pay this to us directly.

The commission we receive pays for our service, including securing the competitive tariffs, price comparison, sales support, switch management, processing, customer service and account management. The commission earned by Energy 4 Businesses balances the cost to provide these services, in line with providing good customer outcomes and retaining our standing within the market in order to continue to provide customers with competitive deals for their business.

​

By agreeing to use our service, you are agreeing for Energy 4 Businesses to receive commission from suppliers for this service as follows.

​

• The commission is included within your unit cost of energy usage by way of a small uplift (i.e. within the cost of the energy contract you agree with your chosen supplier).

• This uplift can differ across contracts and is determined by Energy 4 Businesses.

• Because our commissions are based on estimated future usage, they are forecast amounts. As an example, we may secure an electricity unit rate of 20 pence per kWh (kilowatt hour) from a supplier, to which we may apply an uplift of 0.8 pence, per kWh so the price presented and contracted would be 20.8 pence per kWh. The calculation for our commission is therefore our uplift multiplied by your total energy consumption (in kWh), over the contract term.

• The payment terms and period over which the commission is actually paid varies by supplier therefore these commissions may also be subject to amendments over time by suppliers.
