In the fast-paced world of business, every penny counts. With the recent rise in energy costs, it is now more important than ever to find ways to cut down on expenses. By taking steps to reduce energy usage, your company can save a significant amount of money in the long term.
As one of the biggest expenses for businesses, it's understandable why many strive to cut their energy spending. However, it's surprising that despite this aim, only one one-third of businesses actively search for better deals before switching their energy provider. Even more concerning, many businesses simply allow their existing contracts to roll over without checking if they could be saving money elsewhere. With such a high potential for cost savings, it's concerning that businesses aren't doing more to improve their energy costs. It's time for your business to take a more proactive approach to lower its expenses and consider its options in the energy market.
Below we have put together some of our top tips to ensure your business does not overspend on its energy bills:
Keep on top of your contract coming to an end
We've all been there, so caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life that we forget important dates. Unfortunately, forgetting your energy contract end date could end up being a costly mistake. It's essential to keep this date in mind as a reminder to switch your energy bills. Failing to do so could mean your contract ends up going over, leading to much higher bills. Don't let a simple oversight wreak havoc on your finances. Instead, mark your calendar and make sure to keep an eye on when your contract ends.
Look at prices before you renew with the same supplier
Do you ever feel like you're paying more than you should be for your business's energy bills? Well, it turns out many businesses aren't taking advantage of the options available to them when it comes to renewing their energy contracts. By simply staying on a rollover contract with your current supplier, you could be missing out on the opportunity to save money by finding lower rates from elsewhere. Don't get stuck with higher rates just because it's convenient. Taking the time to shop around for new contracts could lead to significant savings for your business.
Don't go on to a rollover contract
As a new business owner, finding the right energy supplier can make or break your budget. That's why suppliers tend to offer the most competitive rates when signing up new customers. However, the catch is that these rates may not be the same after the initial contract expires. In fact, if you opt for a rollover contract, chances are you'll be stuck with the supplier's highest rates. This is where loyalty doesn't always pay off. To avoid costly surprises, it's important to research and compare energy suppliers and to be aware of the terms and conditions of your contract.
Switch suppliers if you are moving
Moving into new premises can be the best time to switch to a better energy contract. Amidst all the changes you are going to have to deal with whilst moving don't ignore your energy bills. Don't rush off just yet because switching suppliers can be complicated, especially when moving to a new location. If done incorrectly, you may end up paying for energy for two premises. Therefore, take your time and research the new suppliers in your area to make an informed decision. A bit of legwork now will lead to significant savings in the future!
