You're right to ask how we make money. In an industry where energy brokers build their fee into your unit rate - about 3p/kWh was typical at some suppliers in 2022-23, according to Ofgem's data - we think you deserve to see exactly what you're paying for.
Who pays our fee?
You don't pay us directly. Your supplier collects our 1p/kWh as part of your unit rate and passes it to us each month, based on what you actually use. So it comes out of what you pay them for your energy.
Most brokers are paid through exactly the same route. Most won't put it to you this plainly.
We set this rate, not your supplier. Suppliers do set a maximum uplift a broker is allowed to add - but that ceiling isn't what shapes our fee, because 1p sits well below it. No supplier tops it up or influences it, and it doesn't move depending on who you pick. You'll see it as its own line on your quote - with the estimated total over your whole contract - before you sign anything.
The 1p/kWh applies to each fuel separately: a gas quote shows the supplier's gas rate plus 1p, and an electricity quote shows the supplier's electricity rate plus 1p. If you take both, you pay 1p on each fuel's usage. We don't inflate standing charges, add any undisclosed margin on top, or charge for quotes.

How can our fee be a flat 1p/kWh? Traditional energy brokers rely on sales teams, call centres, and account managers. We're building AI and automation to handle bill analysis, quote comparison, and supplier matching - so you can switch business energy yourself without expensive intermediaries.
