Utility Brokering – helping home and business users
compare prices and save money on gas, electricity and telecoms
bills – is a sound long-term business with
residual income that continues to flow in, year after year as your client base expands and customers renew supply contracts.
Imagine
everyone's energy meters and telephones as revenue generators
that continue to pay you a residual income 24 hours a day, 365
days a year even when your on holiday or doing other things.
Are you looking
for a lucrative established business in a thriving market that has the advantages of a 'franchise'but with minimal overheads and that you can run from home then read on...
You'll be trading
in a market of 26 million customers in the UK alone. I earn (you can earn just as easily) a six figure income simply for arranging
reductions and refunds in utility bills. I'm by no means
a high earner compared to some in the utilities & telecoms industry who earn millions but I have a nice business with a nice lifestyle and financial freedom to spend time as I wish. That's what attracted me to this business even though I knew nothing about the electric and gas market.
Initially, utilities can appear ‘technical’ (do
you really understand your own energy and phone bills?) but once
trained it’s much easier than you might think and the very fact that customers consider it to be confusing protects your investment from potential competitors-otherwise anyone could start up in competition to you.
I'll help you rapidly build the expertise
and access to prices that customers don't have, to
ensure your knowledge is increasingly in demand. This very website will even
give you real time customer leads so you dont have to spend money on marketing!
If you’d like to run your own part or full time energy & communication
business from home just print and
digest this brief information and compile a list of questions. You’ll have queries which I can’t
hope to cover in this brief introduction and I am happy to take
time to answer them in more detail with you personally.
As you'll be aware energy prices (and the huge profits therein) are rarely out of the news-the time has never been better to save your customers money whilst making good money for yourself, but in a sustainable and ethical way. Call me on 0844 357 8784 for a chat and take the first step towards your new business.

What is Utility Brokering?
We negotiate discounts and refunds errors and overcharges on energy and telecom and bills by offering a choice of services to suit all size of clients:
ONLINE QUOTING For houses & businesses of all sizes they can use our online instant price calculators to compare and switch online. We offer a FREE service as suppliers pay us the royalties. Customers can buy online often without any intervention or effort on our part.
NEGOTIATION Recommended for businesses spending 15k or more on one meter or for people with multiple premises.. Were paid a lump sum around 25% of what we save clients for the next 12 months based against their current supplier's renewal offer.
MANAGEMENT For large or multiple site clients we recommend ‘working for them, not the suppliers'. Reductions and refunds are split with clients 50/50 each month. We monitor clients monthly bills against market offers, ensuring they continually benefit from maximum savings. We identify and refund overcharges, liaise with suppliers, tender and negotiate wholesale price contracts on behalf of customers. In effect the client benefits from our 'purchasing department' without increasing their overhead.
AUCTION This service suits large gas and electric users and allows clients to tender their own supplies online in a reverse auction not unlike Ebay in reverse. The service is FREE as we get paid by the winning supplier or our auction partner without ever having to involve ourselves in the actual negotiations.
Whatever the client chooses we guarantee 'if we don't save clients’ money, we don’t get paid'...customers can’t lose!
Don’t clients do this themselves?
Most consumers don't for four main reasons:
1. They are too busy and don't want the ‘hassle’ of dealing with something which is ‘technical’ to them.
2. They are disadvantaged by profit driven suppliers ( it’s not in utility companies interests to volunteer savings) and customers have a fear of 'sales talk'.
3. Tariffs and contracts are bewildering, they change frequently, many rates are not published and most consumers dont understand what they are being 'sold' as a result.
4. Overcharges occur due to unsuitable metering or tariffs and the complexity of bills and contracts; yet customers pay as they don't want to be ‘cut off’ and assume bills are ‘probably’ correct. Errors on bills are more common than ever- as deregulation has forced suppliers to cut overheads and staff, billing problems have become more frequent.
How much competition is there?
We're in a vibrant competitive market; the UK is the most deregulated market in the world. We as brokers have a larger client base than Accountants with some 28.4 million electricity and 20.9 million gas customers. Look in Yellow Pages at the hundreds of successful Accountants, then try finding even just a few Utility consultants. Over the coming years your market will explode as Europe and the USA opens to more deregulation. What you learn with us can be applied worldwide.
Can't I set this business up myself without paying you ?
Yes, you possibly could but...
if you take into account the time and money it will take you to gain the knowledge, set up supplier arrangements and market effectively, it will cost you a lot more. Many big brands like British Gas only deal with established "aggregators" and will ignore your approach. It will take a lot more time and money to do this yourself so why not be your own boss but be part of a group with its buying power, support and marketing clout.
Remember we're already 15 years ahead of you, you dont have to make the same mistakes we did...our experience and backing is worth a lot.
What will I earn?
Earnings are determined by four main factors:
1. Marketing spend: Recent research to date shows that for every £1 spent on marketing you can expect to earn £3. Therefore if your target income in year 1 is say £25,000 you should spend £8250 a year or £687 a month. As your business grows you should keep re-investing a similar percentage of your income in marketing to 'lever' your income.
2. Effort. Like any business the more you put in the more you'll receive.
3. Turnover of clients utility spend. You can choose to target lots of smaller accounts or concentrate on serving just a few clients with larger utility costs...the choice is yours.
4. No of actual clients per annum.
Realistic range of income from £20,000 - £300,000 per annum. In 15 years our commission has averaged 4% of our clients utility spend.
Therefore if you ignore any client fees on refunds etc. and concentrate wholly on supplier commission only...
High street takeaway with £7000 on gas and electricity = £280
Restaurant with £20,000 in gas and electricity = £800
Nursing home with £50,000 on gas and electricity = £2000
Industrial unit with £100,000 on gas and electricity = £4000
