Financial difficulty

With rising energy costs and a host of other issues to deal with, we know how stressful a time it is for business owners and bill payers right now.

If you’re worried about paying your business energy bills, we’re here to help. Below, we’ve collected together the most vital information that could help to give your business the breathing room it needs.

• Make sure you have a supply agreement in place
• Send a monthly meter reading
• Understand your energy bills
• Request support from your energy supplier
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If your business recently moved into new premises supplied by SEFE Energy, or your energy contract with us has ended and you’re yet to sign a new one, you’re most likely being charged deemed or out of contract rates. These rates are generally a lot higher than standard contract rates, so you should agree to a new business energy contract with your chosen supplier as soon as you can.

You can request a new or renewal quote from SEFE Energy right here.

If we don't have an up-to-date meter reading for your site, your monthly bill will be based on estimated consumption, which means you may end up paying for energy that you haven’t actually used.

To ensure your bills accurately reflect your actual consumption, please send us a meter reading at the end of each month (unless there is an automated meter reading device attached to your meter). You can submit a meter reading via any of the below channels:

• Online: my.sefe-energy.co.uk
• Email: enquiries@sefe-energy.com
• Phone: 0161 837 3395

Businesses will be all too aware of how even the littlest thing can make a big difference right now. If you tend to pay your bills without a second thought, then it’s well worth getting to know your energy bills inside and out.

By understanding where your money is going each month, you’ll be able to identify whether you’re being overcharged. Plus, when you can understand what each part of your bill refers to, you’ll be able to make sure you’re always paying the right amount with regards to the energy you’ve consumed.
