About us

Make It Cheaper helps UK homes and businesses save millions of pounds every year. For homes, we do this via our online domestic energy switching service, which compares prices and tariffs from twenty gas and electricity suppliers. In many circumstances we can help customers save more than £300 a year and we offer a £100 guarantee that the agreed switch will go ahead as planned.

We save money for UK businesses by owners and decision makers aware of the opportunities available for reducing overheads, assessing their current circumstances, comparing the market of service providers to find them the best deal possible, and dealing with the administration involved in setting up a new contract.

At present, we do this for business gas, business electricity, telecommunications (mobile, landline and broadband) and merchant services. Through our sister company Make It Cheaper Financial Services, we also source commercial insurance policies from a range of providers.

To use one of our services today - or for any other enquiry - get in contact with us.

Our history

Located in Central London, Make It Cheaper was formed in 2007 by a team of business utility professionals to answer a call from the UK's 4.5 million small to medium-sized enterprises.

The aim was to represent the interests of those companies by offering them fair prices and a high standard of customer service.

In 2010 alone, we saved UK businesses over £40 million by reducing thousands of energy bills, helping us gain a nomination at the Growing Business Awards as well as reaching the final of the 2010 National Business Awards UK and the National Customer Service Awards 2010.

In 2011, we achieved an annual saving figure of £88 million. Our success brought us recognition in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 list - where we were placed number 39 in the UK's fastest-growing companies. Although more than fifty per cent of businesses that make this list one year do not make it the next, we managed to achieve enough growth to make the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 in 2012, where we were ranked number 73.

In 2012, our annual saving figure was over £100m - and we're on a mission to save UK businesses a total of £500 million by the year 2014. Former BBC Dragons' Den panelist Doug Richard has described Make It Cheaper as a 'white knight', noting that we are a force for good for UK businesses and economic growth (see video).

In 2013, we launched a home energy switching service that allows customers to compare prices and tariffs from 20 gas and electricity suppliers. As with our business service, we take care of the administrative side of a home energy switch. To ease any fears and insecurities about switching, we offer customers a £100 guarantee that any contract they agree with us will go through as planned.

By guaranteeing a free and impartial service, the company has grown to become the number one destination for UK small and medium-sized enterprises to get a better deal. Make It Cheaper's management team and saving experts help businesses uncover significant cost savings across a range of products and are passionate about getting the best deals for their customers.

It is this passion that has attracted partners from most of the major household price comparison services (including Money Supermarket and Go Compare), charities, membership organisations, banks, trade associations and a number of other business champions. As a result of these partnership channels, we receive up to 3,000 enquiries every week and arrange more new contracts than any other non-domestic cost saving service.

Make It Cheaper conducts over 5,000 satisfaction surveys a year to gather customer feedback, fine-tune the service we provide and gauge the appetite for new products. Using the Net Promoter Scoring system, we have tracked how well we've performed in the eyes of our customers from a respectable NPS of 59% in 2010 to a score that is now consistently over 75%.

Our friendly team of expert advisors is available to take your calls from 9.00am to 5.30pm every week day. You can call us for free on 0800 970 0077. Alternatively, fill out a form on our contact page and we will call you back at a better time for you.
