Uswitch currently provide electricity and gas to businesses
Uswitch has faced scrutiny over transparency and deal listings, particularly in relation to how comparison sites present energy tariffs and financial products. Key Investigations & CriticismsHidden Deals Allegation: Uswitch, along with other major comparison sites, successfully petitioned the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to overturn a ban that prevented them from hiding deals that don’t earn them commission. This means some of the cheapest tariffs may not be shown by default, unless users opt to view the full market. Martin Lewis’s Warning: The Money Saving Expert founder publicly criticized this practice, calling it a “rip-off” and urging consumers to be cautious when using comparison sites.https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/858852/Martin-Lewis-money-saving-expert-comparison-site-Compare-the-Market-Go-Compare-uSwitch Comparison Site in comment, not reality. Using comparison websites like Energy4 provide you as the business owner complete transparent prices from the utility market.Concern that websites like MoneySuperMarket, GoCompare, and The Energy Shop claim to be comparison sites, however review of their websites does not call out Whole Of Market. With OfGem regulation changes, no comparison site needs to show all whole of market. Therefore it is key for business customers to ask the advisor first. Energy4 remains a whole of market (WoM) price provider. Regulatory ResponseThe CMA conducted a market investigation into energy comparison sites, including Uswitch, and proposed remedies to improve transparency and competition. Uswitch responded by supporting reforms that would encourage innovation and better consumer engagement, while also defending the role of comparison sites in helping users switch providers.

Business Advice
Penny-Pinching Promotions – Piggyback your advertising. Including advertising material in other mailings, such as in invoices, saves postage and other additional costs, says Mr J. Weinrauch, co-author of The Frugal Marketer. Likewise, make the most of your point-of-purchase opportunities by tucking coupons, newsletters or other promotional fliers in the bag with customers’ purchases.
– Be a good neighbour. Split advertising and promotion costs with neighbouring businesses. Jointly promote a sidewalk sale, or take your marketing alliance further by sharing mailing lists, distribution channels and suppliers with companies that sell complementary goods or services.
– Ask the people you know for help. The kind of support you’d most like to get from your contacts is referrals-the names of specific individuals who need your products and services. So go ahead and ask! Your contacts can also give prospects your name and number. As the number of referrals you receive increases, so does your potential for increasing the percentage of your business generated through referrals.
– Got a happy customer? By telling others what they’ve gained from using your products or services in presentations or informal conversations, your sources can encourage others to use your products or services.
– Make a special TV appearance. Local cable TV stations often have very reasonable advertising rates at time slots throughout the day and night. Though you won’t necessarily reach prime-time viewers, you will make an impression where it counts-in the comfort of potential customers’ homes.
– Offer expert advice. Teaching a class, speaking at a community meeting, or writing an article for a local paper not only makes you look like an expert but garners low-cost attention for your business.

Did you know that
Companies which spend fortunes on business Electricity are those companies which need to make use of Electricity as a resource. If you own a takeaway shop or work in a warehouse or factory shop, then the chances are incredibly high that you make use of way too much business gas than is necessary.
Our agreements allow us to negotiate on the client’s behalf with UK Electricity suppliers, to ensure that they are paying a competitive rate for their Electricity supply. We monitor the Electricity market for the clients, allowing the client to focus on their business and what you do best.
The wholesale Electricity market has become increasingly volatile over the last years. Accordingly, securing your organisation’s’ electricity contract can have significant cost benefits over the contractual term.
At Energy4 we review the market daily to purchase Electricity for our clients when the prices are at a lower rate. Our access to all Electricity Suppliers means we buy at live prices and offer you the best rate possible on the market.
We have highly qualified business advisors on standby to deal with your every question and query. We will not let you down and promise to provide you with only the best service guaranteed.
Energy4 can do all the work for you by doing all the intensive research while you sit back and ask us for our trouble-free quote. We want nothing in return except for the knowledge that you are saving money.
Energy4 are not only able to make you aware of savings, but we can help you save time and money by providing you with a trouble-free quotation.

Business Advice
Penny-Pinching Promotions – Piggyback your advertising. Including advertising material in other mailings, such as in invoices, saves postage and other additional costs, says Mr J. Weinrauch, co-author of The Frugal Marketer. Likewise, make the most of your point-of-purchase opportunities by tucking coupons, newsletters or other promotional fliers in the bag with customers’ purchases.
– Be a good neighbour. Split advertising and promotion costs with neighbouring businesses. Jointly promote a sidewalk sale, or take your marketing alliance further by sharing mailing lists, distribution channels and suppliers with companies that sell complementary goods or services.
– Ask the people you know for help. The kind of support you’d most like to get from your contacts is referrals-the names of specific individuals who need your products and services. So go ahead and ask! Your contacts can also give prospects your name and number. As the number of referrals you receive increases, so does your potential for increasing the percentage of your business generated through referrals.
– Got a happy customer? By telling others what they’ve gained from using your products or services in presentations or informal conversations, your sources can encourage others to use your products or services.
– Make a special TV appearance. Local cable TV stations often have very reasonable advertising rates at time slots throughout the day and night. Though you won’t necessarily reach prime-time viewers, you will make an impression where it counts-in the comfort of potential customers’ homes.
– Offer expert advice. Teaching a class, speaking at a community meeting, or writing an article for a local paper not only makes you look like an expert but garners low-cost attention for your business.

Did you know that
Companies which spend fortunes on business Electricity are those companies which need to make use of Electricity as a resource. If you own a takeaway shop or work in a warehouse or factory shop, then the chances are incredibly high that you make use of way too much business gas than is necessary.
Our agreements allow us to negotiate on the client’s behalf with UK Electricity suppliers, to ensure that they are paying a competitive rate for their Electricity supply. We monitor the Electricity market for the clients, allowing the client to focus on their business and what you do best.
The wholesale Electricity market has become increasingly volatile over the last years. Accordingly, securing your organisation’s’ electricity contract can have significant cost benefits over the contractual term.
At Energy4 we review the market daily to purchase Electricity for our clients when the prices are at a lower rate. Our access to all Electricity Suppliers means we buy at live prices and offer you the best rate possible on the market.
We have highly qualified business advisors on standby to deal with your every question and query. We will not let you down and promise to provide you with only the best service guaranteed.
