At Utility Helpline we understand that when you first move into a new business you face a host of decisions and issues. From our experience of working within the energy industry for many years, we have spoke to thousands of new business owners who have been caught out by agent’s miss-selling utility contracts. The most common ways in which new business owners are caught out are though verbal contracts: -                      promising that they have the cheapest business energy prices in your area -                      threatening disconnection if you do not agree a contract immediately -                      Offering to save you money by lowering your monthly direct debit payment. Only to find at a later date the prices you are paying are higher and your direct debit is increased a few months after the contract starts. We have found these verbal contracts can be up to 40% higher than current market prices and once agreed can constitute a legally-binding contract. These long term contracts can then only be broken through paying a high penalty. Utility Helpline was initially set up to assist Sidney Philips Ltd customers and businesses in the hotel, licensed & leisure trade obtain competitive utility deals available and avoid any contractual traps. Through our working relationships with the majority of suppliers nationally, we are now a leading independent UK energy broker. Our service is very cost-effective to use and you're under no obligation. For further information or for an energy quote, please call 0800 043 0423
