More About This Claim
What is a business energy claim?
A Business Energy claim is a legal action to recover hidden commission fees and inflated rates that were added to your business's electricity or gas contracts by energy brokers without your explicit knowledge or consent.
What are undisclosed energy broker commissions?
Many energy brokers add an extra margin to the energy rates they quote to businesses (for example, adding 1p or 2p per kWh). This margin is paid directly to the broker by the energy supplier as a commission.
If the broker did not fully disclose this commission, how it was calculated, and the exact amount they would receive, it is considered an undisclosed or hidden commission, which is legal grounds for compensation.
Which businesses are eligible to claim?
Any UK business (including sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies) that used a third-party energy broker to secure their commercial electricity or gas contracts in the last 10 years may be eligible to claim.
How much compensation could my business recover?
The amount of compensation depends entirely on your business's energy consumption levels and the size of the undisclosed commission added by the broker. For many businesses, compensation can amount to thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds per contract.
