Before signing
Points to check
- Confirm whether the quote sits with British Gas Business or another Centrica entity.
- Check pass-through items, volume tolerance and multi-site billing arrangements.
- Recalculate the quote with your own annual consumption, contract dates and every known fee.
- Confirm broker remuneration, renewal terms, payment method and the complaint escalation route in writing.
