Why business energy switching is broken
63% of businesses that knew they'd used a broker thought they weren't charged for it.* Commission is usually built into the unit rate, so it's easy to miss.

How it works
Four steps. About 20 minutes. No phone calls.
Step 1
Check your bill
Upload a PDF or photo of your latest bill. Meet George tells you in seconds whether you can switch. Too early? Ask him to email you when your window opens.
Step 2
Create your account
Sign up, then sign the letter of authority, pre-filled from your bill. No email tennis, no DocuSign back-and-forth.
Step 3
Compare quotes
Every quote shows the supplier rate and our 1p/kWh as two separate numbers - itemised, never buried. You see exactly what you pay us.
Step 4
Sign and switch
Pick a quote, ask George anything and sign online. Your new supplier runs a quick credit check and we handle the switch.
How do I compare business electricity suppliers?
Compare what each quote costs for a whole year at your own usage - not the headline unit rate. On Meet George, quotes from Scottish Power, Drax, EDF and E.ON Next sit side by side, with the supplier's price and our 1p/kWh fee shown as separate numbers. Then you sign online.
- 1
The total for a year
Unit rate x your annual kWh, plus the standing charge x 365. That's the number to compare.
- 2
What's fixed, and for how long
Line up quotes for the same term. Check whether network charges are fixed or passed through - pass-through charges can rise mid-contract.
- 3
The small print
Minimum-usage floors, volume tolerance, exit fees and renewal terms. The cheapest quote can be the wrong fit.
- 4
Who's being paid, and how much
A broker's fee usually sits inside the unit rate - Ofgem's data shows about 3p/kWh was typical at some suppliers in 2022-23. Ours is 1p/kWh, itemised, never buried. How to find yours

Ask Meet George anything about your energy contract
SMEs have questions. Traditional brokers give sales pitches. Meet George gives you instant, honest answers about your bill, contract, pricing, or switching - before, during, and after you switch.
Meet George
Anything in this contract I should know about before I sign?
I've read the full contract. Here are 3 things to watch:
- 1. Volume tolerance ±15% - if your usage changes more than 15%, they can reprice your contract mid-term.
- 2. Auto-renewal clause - miss the 60 days' notice and it renews automatically, at a price the supplier sets.
- 3. No termination break - you're locked in for the full 24 months with no early exit option.
These are fairly standard terms - but now you know before you sign, not after.
Why we built Meet George
"I spent 10 years at THIS Workspace. Every broker pitched us the same story - 'We'll get you the best rate' - but I had no way to verify what they were adding as commission. That's why we built Meet George: self-service switching where you see everything."
Common questions
Can I use Meet George now?
Yes. Meet George is in private beta and available to use now.
Start with the free bill check: upload your latest bill and Meet George tells you in seconds whether you're in your switching window. If you are, you can create your account and get started straight away. If it's too early, you can ask George to email you when your window opens.
End-to-end self-service switching currently covers four suppliers - Scottish Power, Drax, EDF and E.ON Next - with AI bill analysis, eligibility checks, live pricing and digital contract signing.
It's a beta, so there can be rough edges. Tell us when you hit one and we'll fix it.
How is Meet George different from other energy switching platforms?
Many comparison sites look automated, then pass your details to a call centre for quotes and sales calls.
Meet George is building real automation for the hard parts of a business switch: eligibility, credit checks, supplier rejections and contract signing. We're open about which parts are still manual.
The difference: we build the software that does the switch. A lead-generation site passes you to someone who does it by phone.
Why is business energy switching harder to automate than residential?
Residential switching works because it's simple: standard contracts, no credit checks, instant acceptance.
Business switching is fundamentally more complex:
- Suppliers run credit checks on every business (businesses can be rejected)
- Different suppliers have different risk tolerances (same business accepted by one, rejected by another)
- Suppliers manage hedging risk and financial exposure
- Multi-site complexity, varied consumption patterns, sector-specific risks
- Higher financial stakes (£5k-£50k+ annual contracts)
This is why business energy switching has remained broker-dependent. Until now.
How much does Meet George cost?
Meet George charges a flat 1p/kWh fee, itemised on every quote and never buried in your unit rate. You pay this fee - it is collected through your energy supplier and passed to us over the life of your contract, based on your actual usage.
On 50,000 kWh a year our fee is £500 a year - £1,000 over a 2-year contract, £1,500 over 3 years. The rate is the same whichever supplier you choose, so we have no reason to steer you.
See our How We're Paid page for full transparency on our pricing model.
Do I need to speak to anyone to switch?
No. Meet George is fully self-service.
Upload your bill, compare your quotes, and complete your switch entirely online in about 20 minutes - quotes, credit check and paperwork included. No sales calls, no broker meetings, no phone tag.
If you do have questions, Meet George is available to answer them instantly - but you'll never be pressured into a call.
