About Biz Energy

Biz Energy is an independent information site about gas and electricity for UK businesses, with a focus on microbusinesses and small firms — the shops, cafés, salons, workshops, offices, charities and sole traders who buy energy without an energy manager.

What we do

We explain how business energy contracts, prices, bills, meters, brokers and complaints actually work, in plain English. Every factual claim is checked against a primary source wherever one exists: Ofgem decisions and guidance, HMRC VAT and excise notices, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero statistics, legislation.gov.uk and the Energy Ombudsman. Each page lists its sources and the date it was last reviewed, so you can check our work.

What we don't do

• We are not an energy supplier and we do not sell energy.
• We are not a broker or third-party intermediary. If you ask for quotes through our quote form, we pass your details to a partner broker, who may pay us for the introduction. That never changes what our guides say.
• We do not rank suppliers on undisclosed criteria or accept payment to feature them.
• We do not give individual financial or legal advice. For a dispute, the Energy Ombudsman and Citizens Advice can help for free.

How we keep pages up to date

Rules and prices change. Climate Change Levy rates change every April, Ofgem has been reviewing the non-domestic market and preparing to regulate brokers, and wholesale prices move every day. We review pages when an official source changes and at least every six months, and we show the review date at the top of every page. Read more in our editorial policy.
