Check your contractWhat Percy actually does
Most business owners don't think about their energy contract until the bill arrives - and by then it's often too late; you're already on an expensive default rate. Percy exists to catch that before it happens.
Tell us a bit about your business and your current contract. We'll tell you, in plain English, whether you're likely overpaying - and if switching makes sense, we'll connect you with a vetted energy specialist who can get you onto a fairer rate. You decide what happens next.
Percy isn't an energy supplier. We don't sell you a contract directly - we're the plain-English starting point that gets you to someone who can.
How it works
We flag anything that looks off
based on what you tell us (not your actual bill), we'll flag if you look to be on an expensive default rate.
A specialist calls you with your options
usually within a day. No pressure, no obligation, and you can say no thanks at any point.
Why business owners end up overpaying
“Deemed rate” and “out of contract rate” - what they actually mean
If your energy contract lapses without a new one in place, you're automatically moved onto a default rate that can run 45-65% higher than a fixed deal. It's not a penalty - it's just what happens by default, and most business owners don't realise it's happened until a bill arrives that looks wrong.
Worked example
For a business using around 15,000 kWh a year - a fairly typical small office or shop - that gap works out to roughly £2,550 a year, or up to £7,500 over a three-year term. Your own number will depend on your usage; the percentage above is what to pay attention to if your bill looks different in size.
Why this catches people out
Nearly one in five UK businesses were placed on an out-of-contract rate in the past year, and a similar number end up on deemed rates after moving premises. It's rarely negligence - most contracts renew on a schedule nobody's tracking, and business energy doesn't work like a domestic tariff, which trips up a lot of owners who assume it does.
Jargon, translated
- kWh (kilowatt-hour)
- the unit your usage is billed in; think of it as the “litres” of your energy bill.
- Price cap
- a domestic protection that does not apply to most business contracts, which is why business rates can move more than people expect.
- Commission
- brokers are typically paid a small amount by the supplier when they place you on a contract, not by you directly. Energy brokers are required by law to disclose any commission to you upfront, before you agree to anything.
