Why Choose Utilities Marketing Limited

Business retail market:

In April 2017, the largest competitive water retail market in the world opened for business, bringing the biggest change to the water sector since privatisation.

This new market means 1.2 million businesses; charities and public sector organisations in England are no longer restricted to buying water services from their regional monopoly. Instead, they can shop around, renegotiate, and find the right deal for them. If customers don’t like the service they get, they can take their business elsewhere.

This market could deliver lower bills, help people use less water, lead to improved services, and see new offers and bundles emerge.

Along with the benefits which could be available, businesses and other organisations want to know there is appropriate protection for them. And there is. We are closely monitoring and regulating the market and if we need to intervene in the market to protect customers, we will do so. We have also set limits on the price customers pay if they don’t switch or renegotiate a new deal, to prevent them losing out.

How does the market work?

The market will work like many other open utility markets (such as telecoms, electricity and gas). Retail suppliers will buy wholesale services, (the physical supply of water and/or removal of wastewater), and offer a package to sell to eligible customers.

You might be overspending on your business bills. This is where we come in as we compare the whole market for you so you don’t have to waste your precious time to do that.

You might not what if you have been paying high cost for your energy usage to know if your renewal rates are good we compare business electricity rates. Prices change frequently sometimes daily and not all suppliers pass on cheaper wholesale prices to their SME customers.

But don’t wait until the end before of your contract before you compare business electricity suppliers. If possible, start looking for new prices up to 3-12 months before your contract end date.

Even those with a long time to run on their fixed term contract should compare business electricity tariffs. The savings offered by a business electricity supplier switch may outweigh the costs of terminating your contract early.

So for us to compare the prices for you we need:

For this you will need a recent bill. This commercial energy bill contains the following items:

• Your unit rates and standing charge
• Your consumption/how much energy you use annually
• Your meter numbers
• Your contract end date
• Your contract’s notice period (when you have to tell your supplier you’re leaving)
• And we would just need Signed Letter of Authority for field sales and verbal authority if verbal sale.

If you are not the business owner, you will also need the permission of the owner to take responsibility of the contract change. You will simply need to confirm that you have this authority at the time of switching.
