Renew smart, not late — beat the rollover trap.

Most business energy overspend happens in the last four weeks of a contract. Start the renewal early, quote the whole market, and lock the right price at the right moment.

Why timing decides the price

UK wholesale gas and power prices move every day. Suppliers give you their forward view of that curve when they quote — so the same contract, quoted on two different Mondays, can come back 8–15% apart. Start six months early and you have the option to hold a soft price. Start six days early and you take whatever the market gives you.

The renewal timeline we recommend

  1. Month -6. Sign a Letter of Authority so we can pull your current tariff and MPAN/MPRN data.
  2. Month -5. First market sweep across 20+ suppliers. Rate captured, not committed.
  3. Month -3 to -1. Watch the wholesale trend; re-quote if the curve moves in your favour.
  4. Termination window. We serve notice in writing and confirm receipt so you can never be rolled over.
  5. Go-live. New contract starts the day after the old one ends — no gap, no deemed rate.

Termination — the step everyone forgets

Under Ofgem rules, micro-business contracts renew automatically unless you terminate in writing during the notice window (typically 1–3 months before end). We handle the notice on your behalf and keep a dated audit trail — critical if you ever need to dispute a rollover charge.

What we bring that a direct-to-supplier renewal doesn't

  • Whole-of-market visibility. One conversation covers every supplier, not just your incumbent.
  • Contract mechanics. Fixed vs pass-through vs flex, green tariff options, blend-and-extend.
  • Bill-line scrutiny. Availability, DUoS, CCL — we spot the ones that shouldn't be there.
  • Transparent commission. Disclosed in writing before you sign anything.
