Additional support for micro businesses and small businesses

If you're a micro business or small business and raise a complaint, you can receive more help, support and protection.

If your business complaint is not solved at 8 weeks or we can't agree a way forward (also known as 'deadlock'), you have the right to pass your complaint to the Energy Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman is there to help sort out disputes between energy suppliers and their customers. Their service is free to use and they're totally independent - they don't take sides, and their decisions are based only on the information they have.
