YOU COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A BUSINESS ENERGY CLAIM.

Discover how to check your eligibility and what steps to take next. As a business owner, you may have enlisted the help of an energy broker or consultant to find your current gas or electricity supplier. Energy brokers can negotiate with suppliers on your behalf, often securing deals that might seem more favourable than going directly to the provider.

Unlike more regulated sectors such as mortgage brokering, the energy broker market operates with less oversight. As a result, some brokers may have provided misleading information about their commission fees, the reasons behind recommending certain suppliers, or whether they’ve truly conducted a comprehensive market comparison to secure the best deal for your business. If you’re a small business owner and believe you were mis-sold a business energy contract, you may be eligible for compensation.

The escalation in energy prices has placed an extraordinary burden on businesses and third-sector organisations.

If you’ve been overcharged, you deserve compensation. Getting what you are owed is easy with Bright Path.

BUSINESS ENERGY CLAIMS EXPLAINED

In 2020, an investigation by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) revealed that micro businesses were often mis-sold business energy contracts by energy brokers. Micro businesses are defined as having fewer than 10 employees, an annual turnover of less than €2 million, using less than 100,000 kWh of electricity, and less than 293,000 kWh of gas annually.

Ofgem identified several cases where brokers and third-party intermediaries misrepresented business energy deals, primarily due to a lack of transparency. These issues included:

Offering only one energy deal despite claiming a full-market comparison.

Locking customers into long, multi-year contracts without clearly explaining the contract length.

Hiding commission fees—sometimes as high as 50% of the customer’s energy spend—without disclosing these costs at the point of sale or in the contract.

Due to these practices, many law firms are now open to pursuing business energy claims if you suspect your contract was mis-sold. Learn more about how to make a claim and explore your options.
