Bigger businesses have large contracts and can leverage brokers. What about small businesses? And is the traditional broker model aligned with your best interest?
Small business energy brokers
There are small business brokers that help you find lower prices.
The problem is they get paid commission by retailers, and they only work with a few of the biggest retailers in the market.
This means their incentive is to put you on rates that pay the biggest commission. That's why you don't see them working with many small retailers.
And part of this deal is that they agree with brokers to not go looking for better prices for you for another 12-24 months.
But the energy market can change a lot in one month, let alone 12 months.
Small business energy brokers compared to Termina
Termina automatically keeps you on the lowest electricity and gas prices every single month for every meter.
And we refuse commissions from retailers. Instead our revenue comes from a portion of the savings we find you. So our only motivation is to save you as much as possible.
Termina goes to market every month to find better prices with the group buying power of thousands of meters.
We sign bulk agreements throughout the year as well as optimise for the best market rates every month.
This locks in savings when prices go down that you benefit from, while benefiting from previous agreements when prices are going up.
So you have peace of mind you're on the best rate every month.
Partnering with an energy broker can streamline your energy procurement process, especially if you operate across multiple sites. A multisite energy broker can consolidate your energy needs, ensuring you receive the best rates and terms for all locations. Additionally, working with energy consultants can help tailor energy strategies to your specific business needs, optimising both cost and efficiency. Together, these professionals can provide comprehensive support to maximise energy savings and sustainability for your business.
