Many major business gas suppliers have launched steep price rises this winter, with the increases often approaching 10%.
Small businesses, especially those based at home, are likely to be especially hard hit by the price hikes. Many consume energy at a relatively high rate, yet may not appreciate how to secure the best commercial deals themselves, or how to switch business gas suppliers in the best way.
The good news is that no business has to take these increases (the latest in a succession of rising costs in recent years) lying down. Simply by switching supplier, most households can save more than £400 a year. But for smaller business, especially home-based ones, that figure could be even higher.
While recent figures suggest that more than half of all customers don’t bother to compare prices or look for a new supplier, it’s never been more important to do so. Trading conditions throughout 2011 are likely to remain challenging, and utility bills will have a big impact on the overall financial performance of small businesses.
