Moving into or out of a business premises where responsibility of the energy supply changes is known as a Change of Tenancy or CoT. 

It is the responsibility of both the incoming and outgoing tenant to inform the incumbent energy supplier that there has been a change of tenancy. 

As the incoming tenant it is vital you do this as quickly as possible as you will be placed on an arbitrary deemed tariff by your new supplier, this tariff can be up to 40% more than an agreed price and can result in unwary business owners receiving large bills.

Smart meters provide real-time energy usage data, enabling accurate billing and helping businesses manage consumption more efficiently. For more information, check out our guide to smart meters for business.

Out of contract and deemed tariffs are default energy rates charged when no active supply agreement exists. Out of contract rates apply after a fixed-term deal ends without renewal, while deemed rates apply when a business moves into new premises without setting up a contract. Both are typically far more expensive than agreed rates - but switching to a new deal can reduce costs quickly.

We work with a wide network of trusted UK energy suppliers, including the Big Six and a range of independent providers. This means we can compare a broad mix of tariffs and services to find the best fit for your business needs - whether you prioritise cost, customer service, green energy, or flexible contract terms.
