WHAT IS A BUSINESS ENERGY CLAIM?

Businesses across the UK are making claims for mis-sold business energy, but why
are problems with business energy contracts coming to light now?

Recently, energy brokers have come under greater scrutiny. It turns out that
many energy brokers – responsible for arranging energy contracts for businesses
across the UK – have been attaching hidden fees and undisclosed commission to
the business energy deal they present to business owners.

Whilst an energy broker is entitled to money as third party intermediaries who
put business owner and energy supplier in touch, the money they make MUST be
disclosed.

Without this transparency, a business energy claim is possible.

Ofgem said it had “listened loud and clear to calls to protect businesses of all
sizes from sharp practice by energy brokers”


HOW DOES AN ENERGY BROKER MIS-SELL BUSINESS ENERGY?

How it all works is actually quite smart – albeit deceptive. As energy brokers
are able to access better deals due to their connections in the gas and
electricity markets, they can work with a business energy supplier to offer
businesses a deal that looks great on the surface.

In short, the unit cost in the energy deal will be significantly cheaper than
the business paid previously, so the business owner feels as though they’re
getting a good deal. However, what appears to be just the unit price of the
energy actually contains hidden fees that the broker benefits from directly –
and the business is none the wiser. Take a look at one business energy deal
example below for a better understanding.


AVERAGE CLAIM PAYOUT OF...


£25,000 PER BUSINESS

Claim values can range anywhere between £2,000 to £2,000,000. 


A DISHONEST BUSINESS ENERGY CONTRACT EXAMPLE

This practice is far more common than most people realise. If you have used an
energy broker for your business energy, then you might have a claim.


ACTUAL UNIT PRICE

An energy broker may be able to find a deal from a business energy supplier with
a unit cost of 11p/kWh.


HIDDEN COMMISSION



The energy broker adds an additional 2p/kWh of energy used, so the business pays
13p/kWh – without ever knowing the original price was 11p/kWh.

SUPPLIER PAYS ENERGY BROKER DIRECTLY

The business pays the supplier the 13p/kWh. The supplier keeps the 11p/kWh and
pays 2p/kWh to the energy broker without the business ever realising.


BUSINESS ENERGY CLAIMS FEATURED IN THE MEDIA.

The Confederation of British Metalforming wrote a letter earlier this year to
the energy security secretary “biggest mis-selling scandal since PPI”

“Businesses across the UK have been impacted by mis-selling of energy contracts,
where brokers have failed to disclose the commission payments, they receive from
energy suppliers.”

Energy firms accused of hiking small business bills to pay ‘secret’ commission
and using lawyers to avoid telling them how much was paid

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER WITH BUSINESS ENERGY CLAIMS?

Let’s take a look at why making a business energy claim is important:


01


FIGHT FOR BUSINESS INTEGRITY

The business world relies on honesty – if your energy broker failed to provide
full written disclosure explaining the energy costs you’ll pay vs commission,
then they’ve been dishonest.


02


STAND AGAINST HARD SALE TACTICS

Often brokers used hard selling tactics, claiming the deal was time-limited or
energy bills would rise soon, to make businesses sign deals quickly without
thoroughly questioning the deal.


03


SET AN INDUSTRY STANDARD

To date, energy brokers remain an unregulated industry. Because of this,
regulators like OFGEM have no say in how the industry acts. By fighting this
industry-wide injustice, standards could change.


04


GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Making business energy claims is the only way for you to recover the money
you’ve wasted on hidden broker fees and commissions disguised as energy costs.
This is money your business is entitled to.


05

The business energy solicitors we’ll put you in contact with work on a no win no
fee basis meaning you won’t pay any upfront legal fees, and if you lose the
case, you won’t pay a penny.

HOW MUCH EXTRA HAVE I BEEN PAYING UNKNOWINGLY?

Energy brokers have been hiding their commissions in energy deals for years, and
now that the practice has come to light, there’s no telling how many UK
businesses have been affected and how much compensation they could be entitled
to.

But let’s take a look at an example below based on an average business’
estimated annual gas and electricity energy usage. Let’s say that your business
uses 560,000 kWh of gas each year, and 760,000 kWh of electricity.

If energy brokers were able to lock you into a one year deal with an energy
supplier and secretly made just 1p/kWh on each unit of gas and electricity you
purchased then they would make a significant amount of money off the back of a
deal you knew nothing about. Let’s run the numbers:

 * Commission earned off gas alone: 560,000kWh x £0.01 = £5,600
 * Commission earned off electricity alone: 760,000kWh x £0.01 = £7,600
 * Combined secret commissions paid unbeknownst to you: £5,600 + £7,600 =
   £13,200


If the energy broker sold multi year contracts to your business, then you would
multiply the total by the length of your deal. All of a sudden there’s a huge
amount of commission paid directly to the broker without you ever being told.

HOW PREVALENT IS BUSINESS ENERGY MIS-SELLING?

If you were sold an energy contract from a business energy broker then it’s
quite possible you’ve been mis-sold. Many brokers in the industry have been
attaching hidden fees to business energy contracts for years – and the number of
UK businesses affected could be in the millions!

However, if your business energy contract clearly states the money you’ll pay to
your energy provider for your business bill and the money you’ll pay to the
broker for their broker’s commission then you have not been mis-sold an energy
contract. This is perfectly legitimate and fair.

If you’re unsure if you have a claim or not, contact us today. We’ll be able to
help you determine your eligibility.

Can I get out of a business energy contract?

Yes, but making a business energy claim is the only legal way to do so if your
reason for exiting early is the secret commission you’ve been paying
unknowingly.

When you make a claim, your solicitor can also argue that part of your
compensation ought to be a revised version of the contract with the true energy
cost in place, or that you should be able to cancel it altogether and find
another deal elsewhere.

Do I need to make my business energy claim today?

Starting your energy claim as soon as possible is important because strict time
limits apply to contract issues like these. The usual standard is around 6
years, but given that the mis-sold business energy scandal is so fresh, and the
industry is unregulated, it may be the case that you have a longer or shorter
amount of time.

To be on the safe side, it’s a good idea to check if you have a claim today.
That way, you can be sure you won’t miss out.
