How to Make a Successful Hidden Commission Business Energy Claim: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction: In the UK, many small businesses have unknowingly fallen victim to mis-sold business energy contracts due to hidden or secret commissions. Energy brokers, who act as intermediaries between businesses and energy suppliers, have been concealing their commissions, resulting in inflated energy prices for unsuspecting businesses. If you suspect that your business has been affected by hidden commissions, SortMyCash and our partner solicitors are here to help you make a successful claim. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of filing a hidden commission business energy claim and offer tips for increasing the chances of a successful outcome.

Step 1: Identify the signs of mis-selling: Before starting a claim, it is essential to understand the signs of mis-selling. Some indicators that your business energy contract may have been mis-sold include:

  • Your broker did not disclose the amount of commission they were receiving
  • You were presented with only one energy option after the broker claimed to have conducted a comprehensive market review
  • You were bound to a lengthy, multi-year agreement without being informed of the contract duration at the time of sale

Step 2: Gather evidence: To support your claim, you need to gather relevant documentation, such as:

  • The name of the energy broker you used
  • Copies of your energy supply contract (or invoices if the contract is unavailable)
