Business energy broker fees and commission

The commercial arrangement should be visible enough for a business to understand what it will pay and what service it receives.

Last reviewed 18 September 2026

Key answer

Request the amount or calculation method in writing

A broker may charge the business directly or receive remuneration through the supplier contract. Ask for the total amount or calculation method, which suppliers were considered and which services are included before agreeing the deal.

What to retain with the contract

Keep the broker's written scope, supplier panel information, remuneration disclosure, principal terms and accepted quote. If remuneration is incorporated into the energy rate, the comparison should use that final rate.

A transparent fee does not by itself prove that the offer is good or bad. Assess the total cost and the quality of service delivered.
