Depending on which energy company you ask, you may get a slightly different definition of what a SME business is. They may class multi-sites differently or low energy users differently etc.
Ofgem set out to define what a SME is via the microbusiness rules, which most companies have decided to use for all business accounts. Why? Because it is impossible for them to know that one of the criteria doesn’t apply to you.
In reality, we have noted some attempts by some less scrupulous companies to say that a particular supply or business doesn’t meet the criteria… Mainly for their own ends. We are watchful for this sort of practice.
Ultimately the pricing and hedging structure that the companies will use, which is the key element you will be concerned about, will be determined by your meter type and configuration. We understand this and will be able to inform and advise you accordingly.
We offer bespoke energy solutions for U.K. Businesses, large or small..
Typically these would be much larger energy users or large multi-site customers, however this is ultimately defined by the meter configuration on site
Most energy providers define this being a new business or a new site at a premises for under 3 months
Here's what clients are saying about us:
As a small business, we have to be focussed on our overhead at all times. Fairer business energy took the pain out of the process for me and also delivered a good saving. Really friendly and helpful team, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend them.

I barely get time to eat let alone time to source out the best energy deals. However one busy afternoon I was called by Fairer Business Energy who simply advised me there maybe a saving available without me having to lift a finger. Fairer Business Energy's approach was very professional and not remotely pushy which made me feel at ease. Within 21 days they had changed my supplier and as a result I'm now saving well over 30%.... All from a 5 minute call.

Fairer Business Energy quickly identified for us the most cost effective options in a very clear format. With time being precious for us it was a welcomed relief that Fairer Business Energy were able to take care of the whole switch for us. Now we have a considerable saving against our previous supplier and we would highly recommend using Fairer Business Energy.
