The commercial energy market is unregulated and intermediated, with hundreds of new entrants into the market in just the past few years.
At Business Energy Claims (BEC), we help businesses navigate this environment, understand the deals they’ve made with energy brokers and recover money lost through hidden commissions and mis-sold contracts.
We understand how price volatility affects businesses of all sizes. With ongoing geopolitical tensions and instability in global oil and gas markets, energy remains a highly unpredictable commodity. While domestic customers benefit from a price cap, businesses are often left exposed without any protection from rising costs or unfair practices.
Since the expiration of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme in March 2023, businesses have faced unprecedented challenges. Without a price cap, energy suppliers can pass on costs freely. At BEC, we’ve seen quotes exceeding 70p per kWh, figures that can cripple operations and force difficult decisions.
Beyond rising costs, mis-selling is a major issue. Many businesses are unknowingly locked into contracts with inflated rates and hidden broker commissions. These charges are often buried in standing fees and unit rates, making it hard to see the true cost of energy.
We’ve worked with countless businesses who were misled into believing they were getting a fair deal. In reality, they were paying far above market rates. Brokers continue to profit by embedding large commissions into contracts, while businesses struggle to stay afloat.
If you suspect your business has been mis-sold an energy contract, it’s important to act. Ask your broker directly about commissions. If they refuse to disclose, that’s a red flag. Transparency matters and lack of clarity could be grounds for a claim.
To protect your business, shop around, compare quotes, and consult multiple brokers. If you’re unsure, have your contract reviewed by experts. At BEC, we specialise in identifying mis-selling and helping businesses reclaim what they’re owed.
We believe businesses deserve better protection. Until stronger regulations are introduced, it’s up to companies to stay informed and proactive. If you think you’ve been mis-sold, contact us today. We’re here to help you recover losses and secure a fair energy deal.
