Can My Business Switch To Octopus Energy?
Yes. Even if you’re a sole trader you can switch to an Octopus Energy business tariff. You can receive a custom business quote by providing your company number or charity number. These will be used to perform a credit check.
What Happens If My Business Doesn't Pass The Credit Check?
If after completing the sign up process Octopus inform you that you've haven't passed the credit check, you can still proceed with a switch to Octopus by making an upfront payment of 50%. If you call Octopus on 020 3389 5613 or email them at business@octopus.energy this can be arranged for you.
How Can Octopus Charge Less Than The Big 6 Energy Suppliers?
The very large suppliers have massive overheads. Octopus employs cutting-edge technology in order to keep costs as low as possible. Also by taking less profit they can charge their customers less.
Do I Need To Get In Touch With My Current Energy Provider?
Yes, you have to give notice to your current provider. Many providers stipulate that you give them 30 days notice. Should you fail to do this before starting the switching process, your existing energy provider will probably object to your switch. After you've given the required notice, Octopus will do everything else for you.
Do I Have A Choice Of Business Tariffs?
For those wishing a variable tariff, there's Flexible Octopus Business, where your unit rates and standing charges aren't fixed. Should you prefer certainty of pricing there are fixed tariffs such as Octopus F
ixed 12m, Octopus Fixed 24m, Octopus Fixed 36m and Octopus Green Business. These tariffs are also available as Economy 7. There's also Octopus Panel Power (for businesses with solar panels), Octopus Max Power
(for businesses with multiple sites) and Octopus Shape Shifters
(for small businesses who can shift their energy usage).
