Become a Broker

JOIN ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING UTILITY BROKERAGES IN THE UK

Utilitrack provides clarity and choice in a confusing and expensive energy market. As one of the UK’s leading commercial energy brokers, we know businesses don’t always get a competitive deal in what is a very confusing market.

Since the energy crisis, some bills have doubled or even tripled. This has widened the gap between what clients might pay versus what they could be paying with your help as a Utilitrack franchisee.

It’s also difficult for a business to know they are being offered a good deal. Every supplier charges differently, which makes it a challenge to get a true comparison as headline prices may not include hidden charges. Plus, there are some little-known niche suppliers that might offer a better deal. Factor in that best price doesn’t mean best customer service, it’s difficult for business owners to make a buying decision that suits their needs beyond just price.

Now that prices have settled back down from the business killing highs of 2022, there has never been a better time to become a commercial energy broker. Rates are still higher than they were pre-crisis, so you’ll make a big impact. But crucially, the market has been educated to seek choice and value by the media and bitter personal experience.

Your Role as a Commercial Energy Broker

Your clients will come to you when their current energy contracts are due for renewal, or they are moving into new business premises. You’ll also find that accountants and other professional business advisers will introduce their clients once they understand the difference you can make.

All businesses, clubs and charities with commercial premises have electricity bills and many have gas and water bills too. By simplifying which supplier to choose through providing a unique Market Comparison Report, you will help them save time and money whilst generating long term residual income for your business. It’s a win-win result for you and your clients.

We don’t offer domestic or residential energy contracts which means you won’t be distracted by low value and demanding private consumers.

Professional Support and Systems

Utilitrack is a ‘quote through to contract’ back-office support system which enables you to start up a new broker business from scratch, or to substantially streamline your existing broker business.

Utilitrack provides all the technical support and admin from its team of industry trained professionals. This means you can join Utilitrack with no prior knowledge of the energy industry. Through training, mentoring, plus ongoing direction and guidance from the admin team every time they compile a Market Comparison Report for you, you can confidently work with a client of any size – from a high street shop to a two hundred room hotel.

Very keen prices and full documentation from quotes to final contract ensure the best utility solution for your client and the best commission payments direct to you.

Utilitrack schedules all contract terminations and tenders and tracks the status of all contracts for your clients. You can forget the tedious administration process and concentrate on enhancing your client base.

Your opportunities are unlimited. There are no geographical boundaries to where you can operate, plus you can grow your business by recruiting and mentoring your own team of independent brokers.

Why We Operate as a Franchise

Our decision to operate as a franchise is based on quality and choice for our clients:

• Quality: Some larger energy brokers that rely on banks of poorly trained and over incentivised call centre staff can end up treating clients unfairly through over-pricing, bad advice or even deception. Many call centre staff have little interest in doing a quality job as they are not invested and could end up working for another company the next week. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you’ll find Utilitrack’s well-trained and professionally supported broker franchisees who each made a personal investment in their business. They’ll do a far better job for their clients because they know more referrals and renewals come from a job well done and they’ll still be here to see that happen. The result for Utilitrack’s franchisees is that we have a client retention rate of more than 90%.
• Choice: We know that due to size, some small energy brokers struggle to secure commercial relationships with a sufficiently wide range of energy suppliers. This limits choice for clients which may result in them paying more than they need to for the same service. It also limits the agility of the broker to offer decent alternatives if a particular supplier is not delivering good customer service or has other issues.

Who are we looking for?

We’re not just looking for people with drive and entrepreneurial spirit who want to start their own business. We want to partner with franchisees who share our values, care about doing the right thing for clients and care about making the right choices for the planet. A positive attitude and good communication skills are a must. As far as industry knowledge is concerned, we can teach you this and coach you how to deliver excellent service to your clients.
