Business electricity that doesn't cost the earth.
Compare 8+ retailers in 24 hours, switch to a sharper rate, and keep your margin where it belongs — in your business. We do the legwork. You get the savings.
We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch — never by you.
Typical savings 10–25% on outdated SME contracts.
Retailer panel we shop on your behalf
Three things almost every business gets wrong on electricity.
- 1
You're on the wrong plan.
Most SMEs sign up to a retailer's standing offer, then auto-renew year after year without re-quoting. Eighteen months in, you're paying 15–25% more than the market price for the same kilowatt-hour.
- 2
Your tariff doesn't match your usage.
A cafe with espresso machines firing from 6am has a different demand pattern to an office running 9–5. The same plan rarely suits both — and most retailers don't migrate you when better tariffs become available.
- 3
No one's checking your network charges.
Half your bill isn't even electricity — it's network charges. The wrong network tariff classification can quietly cost you $1,500–3,000 a year. Hardly anyone reviews this.
We fix all three in one go.
Four levers we pull on every electricity quote.
Rate & supply charges
The headline c/kWh and the daily supply charge. Compared like-for-like across the SME panel — Origin, AGL, Momentum, EnergyAustralia, Powershop, Alinta, Shell Energy SME.
Network tariff classification
Whether you're on a small-business or large-business network tariff — and whether that's actually right for your site. Often it isn't, and a reclassification quietly saves $1k+ a year.
Contract structure
Fixed vs variable, contract term, exit fees, renewal terms. We model what works best for your usage pattern, not what suits a sales rep's quota.
Renewal protection
We diary your contract end date and re-bid the market 60–90 days before expiry. No silent auto-renewals onto default rates 15–30% above market.

What we actually do on an electricity switch
Send us your last bill. We read your tariff structure, your demand profile, and your usage pattern. Then we shop the retailer panel that fits your size:
- Under 100 MWh/year — SME panel quote off published commercial rates.
- Over 100 MWh/year — C&I tender. We package your interval meter data and put it to SmartestEnergy, Shell Energy C&I, AGL C&I, Origin Enterprise. They bid against each other.
You see every quote side-by-side. We recommend the one we'd take ourselves. You sign the Letter of Authority, we execute the switch, you keep trading.
Tariffs we work with daily
- Time-of-use (TOU): different rates by hour. Wins when your usage matches off-peak windows.
- Flat-rate small business: one rate, all hours. Wins for steady-day businesses (retail, salons, small cafes).
- Demand tariffs: charge for your highest 15- or 30-minute peak. Wins when your peak is genuinely controllable.
- C&I bid contracts: bespoke pricing tendered to a single site or multi-site portfolio.
We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch — never by you.
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission — partly upfront, partly as a trail while you're with them. Your rate is your rate. There's no markup, no broker fee on your invoice, no monthly subscription.
We disclose the commission existence on every quote. If you want to know the exact dollar amount on a deal, ask. We'll tell you.
This is why we win on transparency: we'd rather show you the maths than dress up the savings.
