Was Your Business Overcharged on Energy?
UK businesses may be owed thousands from undisclosed broker commissions. Find out if your business qualifies.
Visible Legal Marketing Ltd (Company No. 10263322). Business energy commission claims are unregulated B2B transactions — a claims management company is not required. You may pursue a claim independently.
How Were Businesses Overcharged?
Many UK businesses paid inflated energy prices due to undisclosed broker commissions
When businesses arrange energy contracts, they often use a third-party broker. While brokers can offer valuable comparison services, many failed to disclose the commissions they earned from energy suppliers — commissions that were added directly to your energy rates.
Undisclosed Commissions
Your broker earned commission from the energy supplier but never told you how much — or even that commission was being paid at all.
Inflated Unit Rates
Hidden commissions were embedded in your per-unit energy rate, meaning you paid more for every unit of gas or electricity consumed.
Conflict of Interest
Your broker may have recommended suppliers based on which offered the highest commission, not the best deal for your business.
Long-Term Contracts
You may have been locked into lengthy contracts (3–5 years) with unfavourable terms, maximising the broker's total commission.
No Comparison Offered
Your broker may not have compared the market fairly, limiting your options to suppliers that paid them the most.
Automatic Renewals
Contracts may have auto-renewed on unfavourable terms without your knowledge, generating further commissions for the broker.
If any of the above sounds familiar, your business may be entitled to recover the undisclosed commissions. Claims can cover multiple contract periods — the further back your contracts go, the greater the potential recovery.
Your Business May Have a Claim If…
If any of the following apply, it's worth checking your eligibility
Your business used a broker to arrange a gas or electricity contract
You were not told how much commission the broker was earning
You suspect your energy rates were higher than they should have been

Varies by caseFrequently Asked Questions
When a broker arranges your business energy contract, they typically earn a commission from the energy supplier. This commission is usually embedded in the per-unit rate you pay for gas or electricity. If the broker didn't disclose this commission to you, you may have been paying more than necessary — and could be entitled to recover those overcharges.
The amount depends on your energy consumption, the length of your contract, and the level of undisclosed commission. Some businesses have recovered thousands of pounds. Higher-consumption businesses and those with longer contracts typically see larger recoveries. We offer a free assessment to help you understand what your business could be owed.
You can still make a claim even if your energy contract has ended. Claims can cover historical contracts, so even if you've changed suppliers or brokers, you may be entitled to recover undisclosed commissions from previous contracts.
Ideally, any energy contracts, broker agreements, or correspondence you have.
