The Broker Tax
Your unit rate typically has 4p–12p extra per kWh on electricity and 1p–3p on gas. These aren't pennies - every year, on every bill. Here are real examples below.

Illustrative figures based on published broker tax research and typical SME consumption. Your actual markup depends on your specific contract — which is exactly what we audit for you.
How it works
Step one
Drop in a PDF or photo of your recent energy bill. We scan every line, calculate what you should be paying, and benchmark against current UK market rates to expose any hidden markup baked into your unit rate.
Step two
If you choose to fight, we'll pass your details to one vetted UK energy specialist. With your permission, they'll source live quotes from suppliers and bring back a fair deal. No pressure to switch. You make the final call.
How we help you
01
Upload your bill. We check every charge against the live UK market — and if you're being ripped off, we tell you.
02
Walk away, stay where you are, or fight back. If you fight, we pass your details to one vetted specialist. That's it.
03
If a specialist isn't straight with you or doesn't get you a fair deal, tell us and they're off our panel. No second chances.
The truth about your bill
Over six years, my dad's restaurant in Newcastle quietly paid £25,200 in hidden Broker Tax — across both his electricity and gas bills. In January 2026, instead of a fair renewal, the broker pushed the markup up to £5,750 a year. We're locked in until January 2029. Read what happened →

I didn't build this just for my dad. I built it for you — the business owner who gets cold-called about your energy bill...
Don't believe us?
"Under Ofgem transparency rules, exactly how much broker commission is built into my unit rate per kWh — and what's the total cost of that fee based on my estimated annual usage?"
