It is acknowledged that, either through inertia, lack of understanding or even through genuine satisfaction that a huge percentage of domestic customers do not specifically seek out the best deals possible for their gas and electricity services. Possibly this is partly due to the different motivations of people, many of whom would not dedicate the time to identifying the best value in every aspect of domestic finance.
Despite many customers staying put with commercial energy suppliers, most customers would easily be able to identify a service that would help them to switch suppliers should they so wish. Despite commercial gas and electricity having nothing like the same price protection that is offered to domestic users, the existence of readily available price comparison services is somewhat more restricted than for the domestic customer.
Under normal ‘free market’ conditions, such services are fairly redundant, this is exactly what the buyer role exists for: to source goods and services at the best possible price for a given service level. While a (good) buyer most certainly won’t suffer from the inertia of some domestic consumers, the area of commercial gas and electricity is a difficult one in which to secure deals without real specialist knowledge. Complex geopolitics, imperialist conflicts and economic cycles have prevented a ‘free market’ from developing in commercial gas and electricity.
At Online Energy, we possess the expert knowledge to identify the market leading deals and commercial energy suppliers on behalf of our customers, which could be your business. These markets are very complex and dynamic, without the right skills to enter this market; you may find yourself longing for the price comparison site that simply doesn’t exist.
