5 Reasons Why Your Business Should be Using an Energy Broker
Businesses have got it hard right now. Prices are rising across the board, and many aren’t sure how they’ll navigate their rising utility costs alongside an accumulation of recent changes in legislation. The energy market is a daunting place at the best of times - a broker will help make it less so. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider using a broker when renewing your utility contracts.
1. Switching
Most businesses know by now that they should be shopping around at renewal - or when moving into a new site - ensuring that they’ll always be getting the best deal on their energy. But that doesn’t make comparing the market any less confusing. Did you know that 82% of UK business water customers are currently on a variable tariff with their inherited provider? Meaning that they could be paying much more than necessary for their water supply. Staying with your current provider can sometimes seem like the safest & easiest option, but switching is much more likely to save you money.
2. Saving You Money
A broker will negotiate the best deal for your business, with access to multiple suppliers offering a variety of contracts to ensure that your needs are always met. Entech have established relationships with 30+ suppliers across the energy sector and can compare rates across the market, ensuring that you always get the right contract at the best possible price point.
3. Saving You Time
You have a business to run. You don’t want to be spending your time sifting through complicated legalisation & Terms and Conditions, checking that your utility contract does everything that you need it to.

With multiple contract types to consider, from fixed to variable, renewable to half hourly, as well as various clauses to look out for, such as max and min consumption thresholds, or increased costs for preferred payment options. A good broker will check all of this for you, so that you can be certain you’re covered on the right contract & not paying more than you need to be.
5.Looking After You
