We work with and compare the top UK business energy suppliers
We make business gas comparison simple. Our tech-enabled experts can find the right business gas deal with the right supplier in three simple steps:
As soon as we have your business postcode, our tech-enabled energy team will use smart data to get the info we need to run a business gas comparison.
Compare quotes from our trusted panel of business gas suppliers. We’ll quickly talk you through the options and you choose the deal that’s best for your business.
Once you’ve chosen the best business electricity deal for your business, we’ll handle the rest of the switch. When renewal time comes around again, we’ll compare business electricity rates to find the best deal for you - no faff.
If your business is cooking on gas, your energy costs can quickly escalate. Especially if your current supplier has you on an expensive tariff. That’s why it’s important to keep these costs under control by making sure you’re on the best available rates. And the only way to do this is to compare business gas prices from a range of suppliers.
But business gas comparison works a little differently to home energy comparison - unlike domestic energy deals, there are no standard ‘off-the-shelf tariffs’ for businesses, meaning all commercial gas contracts need to be designed to meet the specific needs of each individual business and its usage.
This means that to comprehensively compare gas prices and find the best deal, you must either ring around every supplier individually or go through the faff of dealing with a small independent energy broker.
Or you could get in touch with the tech enabled business energy experts at Bionic - we’ll do all the hard work of comparing rates to find you the best business gas deal from our panel of trusted suppliers. We only need your business name and postcode to get started, then our team can use smart data to find the right deal for your business. No unnecessary form-filling. No unnecessarily long phone calls.
But there’s more to switching gas suppliers than simply cutting your costs. Although finding the cheapest business gas is usually the main reason for running a business gas comparison, it’s also worth switching if you want a better level of service and customer service than that offered by your current supplier.
At Bionic, we only work with trusted business gas suppliers and providers, so you can be sure of a great deal and great service too.
By working closely with our selected panel of top UK energy suppliers, we can find you the best business gas deals, tariffs and exclusive offers to meet the unique needs of your business.
We only work with trusted business gas suppliers who we’re sure can offer competitive rates alongside great customer service.
By building a great relationship with our panel of trusted suppliers, we can negotiate exclusive business gas rates to save you money.
To make sure you never overpay for energy again, we proactively compare prices and help you switch to a better deal, based on the specific needs of your business.
The price you pay for business gas will be affected by a range of factors, including:
That’s why it’s important to run a thorough business gas comparison before signing up to a new deal with your current supplier or a different one.
When you switch business gas with Bionic, we’ll use smart tech and human know-how to help find the best deal for your business from our panel of trusted suppliers.

If your business uses more than 55,000 kWh of gas a year, suppliers will class you as a large business and handle your supply differently. To find out more, check out our guide to large business energy and give our tech-enabled energy experts a call on 0800 077 3701.
Green business gas is produced using environmentally sustainable sources – such as plants or animal waste. But while many suppliers now offer 100% green electricity as standard, environmentally friendly gas production technology isn’t quite as advanced, which means green gas deals are much more difficult to come by.
As things stand, green business gas is only available in certain parts of Great Britain, so your ability to switch to green gas will depend on the location of your business. This means that environmentally friendly gas production isn’t always an option - while solar and wind farms are located right across the UK, your ability to switch to green gas will depend on where your business is located.
This, along with the regional variation in energy prices, is why we take your postcode before running an energy comparison.
If green gas isn’t an option for your business, you could choose a supplier that supports environmental projects and sustainable energy in other ways. To find out more, check out our guide to renewable business energy and speak to our tech-enabled experts to find out more. If green gas isn’t an option, you could switch to a supplier that supports environmental projects and sustainable energy in other ways.
When you switch business gas suppliers with Bionic, we’ll handle all the fiddly admin for you and let both your old and new gas suppliers know what’s happening.
Your new supplier will then get in touch with details of when the tariff changeover will take place, along with your agreed payment methods and dates. Remember, unlike domestic deals, business energy switching doesn’t offer a cooling-off period, so it’s important to properly check that all the details on your business energy contract are correct before you sign anything. If you’re unsure about anything, our energy experts are on hand to help.
The only thing left for you to do is give your old supplier a meter reading on the day of the switch, so they can send you an accurate final bill. It’s important you give your old supplier this reading to make sure you only pay for the energy you’ve used with them. If not, they may still bill you even though you're with another supplier, meaning you’ll be billed twice for using the same energy.
And that’s all there is to it - there’s no need for any drilling or digging at your workplace as the gas will be supplied through the existing pipes, and so long as you have a standard meter in place there should be no need to replace that either.

To help you understand more about switching business gas, here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
The cost of your business gas bills can be affected by any number of things, from the location of your business premises to the number of staff you employ and, obviously, the amount of gas you use.
To give you a rough idea of how much you should be paying, here are the average annual gas bills for SMEs:
Each business uses energy differently, so the figures above should only be used as a guide when working out the rates you should be paying. Speak to the energy experts at Bionic and we’ll find a business gas tariff that suits the exact needs of your business.
If your gas bills are too high, an overpriced tariff might not be the only reason - you might simply be using too much energy. This could be down to bad habits - such as leaving the heating on too high - or the fact that your business premises isn’t as energy efficient as it should be.

MPRN is a unique number for your gas meter. It will be up to 11 numbers in length and is used to identify the meter at your business premises.
You should be able to find your MPRN on your business gas bill under the "Details of charges/" heading.
You can also search online for your MPRN by entering your postcode at Find My Supplier or by calling the meter number helpline on 0870 608 1524. Simply tell them your business postcode and the first line of your address and they’ll let you know your MPRN and the name of your current gas supplier.
It’s unlikely that your gas meter will need replacing if it’s a standard meter. If you have a smart meter, you may need to switch meters if the one you have isn’t compatible with your new supplier. For more information, check out our guide to smart meters for business.
Although you can cut the cost of your business gas bills by being more energy efficient, commercial gas prices are affected by a number of factors, many of which are out of your control. Wholesale prices are the main driver behind the rates you pay, and these can be affected by problems with the supply chain and fluctuations in currency prices, along with regulator fees and government levies.
Even a cold winter can push up gas prices for business, as freezing temperatures increase demand.
The best way to protect your business from increasing gas prices is to lock in your rates with a fixed term contract - although your energy bills will still vary according to your usage, fixing your rates means the price you pay for each unit of gas you use will stay the same for the duration of your deal.
Most businesses pay the standard 20% VAT on gas, but you might qualify for the lower 5% rate if you run a charity or not-for-profit organisation. You might also qualify for a discount if you use less than 4,397kWh each month – if you’re not sure how much you use, you can find the exact figure on your latest bill.
If you qualify for the lower rate, ask your gas supplier for a VAT declaration form. Find out more about VAT and business energy in our guide to VAT for business gas and electricity.
Even if your gas is supplied by an IGT, there’s nothing stopping you from comparing gas prices and switching suppliers, but you might find your switch takes a bit longer and the deal you’re offered might not be as competitive as others.
This is because the costs involved in supplying and maintaining IGTs are relatively high, which means the standing charge is often higher. And when you compare gas quotes, the extra IGT charges won’t be included, so you’ll also have to factor these costs in on top of the rates you’re offered. It’s important to compare deals from a range of suppliers, as you might find some of the bigger providers will take on the IGT charges to get your custom.

Business gas prices are always changing. The only way to make sure you’re on the best deal is to compare prices and switch. And remember, signing up to a new deal as soon as your switching window opens can help you lock in lower rates and beat any energy price rises.
Although business and domestic measurement units are the same, the tariffs are not. Business and domestic deals are very different in both cost and contract type.
Although business energy may appear more expensive, the rates offered are usually cheaper and bills only appear more expensive because VAT is charged at a standard rate of 20% on business gas and electricity, as opposed to 5% on domestic energy.
Microbusiness gas is simply a business gas deal that’s been designed for a microbusiness.
A micro business is one that has no more than 10 employees and a turnover of less than £1.7 million. Often suppliers can offer special rates for these kinds of enterprises.
The threshold for qualifying as a microbusiness are as follows, you must:
