Choose an energy partner for better business results
Whether you run a busy café, local pharmacy, budding plant nursery or fresh fruit store, energy costs are unavoidable for the everyday running of your businesses.
Different times of day and changing seasons may lead to higher or lower monthly energy bills. Energy usage can also depend on the type of business you operate and consumer demands for your services.
While 69% of small businesses say that information is scarce when it comes to learning about how to reduce their business energy bills,1 working directly with energy providers for tailor made energy plans is one way to avoid bill shock and get the best deal to suit your business energy needs.
Here are just some of the advantages of doing your research and working alongside energy retailers that are focussed on supporting small to medium business customers.
Energy usage assessment: We understand that energy can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. An energy provider is armed with the latest industry information to help you assess your current energy needs, areas for cost savings and plans that will arm you with the details you need to make informed decisions about your energy requirements.
Business account support: This seems like an obvious benefit, but the key to good business energy management is joining a retailer that has plans specifically designed for small businesses. With a small business energy expert on call, you have an additional resource to tap into to their expertise to optimise your business for energy efficiency.
Energy management tools: Regularly assessing the energy needs of your business will help ensure costs are managed. An energy provider can provide regular billing and App updates about how you are using energy around your business and provide advice about getting the most out of your plan.
Partnership power: If you belong to an association or franchise, you may have more opportunity to negotiate with an energy provider for better energy deals for members. Nectr currently has agreements with The Pharmacy Guild of Australia for specialised energy deals for Guild members, with some Guild members saving around $1,000 per year thanks to the partnership.
Bigger picture thinking: We understand that reducing energy costs is a top priority for small businesses. However, joining an energy provider that is doing their bit for the planet is a small but important choice businesses can make to be part of the bigger environmental solution. Nectr Business Buzz is an energy plan designed specifically for small businesses. Along with competitive energy rates, the plan is also 100% carbon neutral.
