Stop overpaying for business energy. Learn how Termina automates switching, compares rates monthly, and keeps your business on the best price with no commissions.

If you’re running a business, chances are you’re paying too much for energy. 

‍

Over time, electricity and gas bills gradually increase, with retailers relying on “lazy tax” – knowing most customers won’t check, compare, or switch when rates rise.

‍

Switching sounds simple, but between comparing business electricity rates, reviewing business gas plans, and keeping track of usage patterns across multiple sites, it quickly becomes a full-time job.

‍

That’s where Termina comes in.

‍

We are an automated alternative to comparison sites and traditional brokers who rely on commissions to make their money – often at the expense of their clients.

‍

We will show you how to change your business energy provider, what to watch out for, and how Termina makes sure you never overpay again.

‍

Understanding your business’s energy needs

Before switching, you need to know what you’re switching from. 

‍

Traditionally, this means gathering 12 months of bills, reviewing interval data, and mapping seasonal or time-of-day usage. 

‍

For multi-site businesses, that could mean possibly hundreds of accounts to keep track of.

‍

Termina takes this admin off your plate. 

‍

Upload your latest bill and we’ll automatically centralise your energy bills and data moving forward.

‍

With all data in one dashboard, you’ll get real-time insights, automated reports, and the ability to match contracts to your actual load profile. Less paperwork, more control.

‍

Termina will manage the switch to your new business energy provider

‍

Switching providers doesn’t mean downtime or interruptions. Instead, your supply can keep running seamlessly. 

‍

But negotiating contracts, managing tenders, and handling retailer communication can drag on for weeks.

‍

Termina acts as your authorised representative and manages the entire switching process for you. 

‍

No lock-in contracts, no hidden fees, and you can stop anytime. 

‍

You simply send us your bill, and we’ll do the rest.

‍

We compare business energy rates for you every month (and will automatically switch you to the best rate)

Most businesses only review their energy contracts every few years, if at all. 

‍

But prices change monthly. 

‍

That means even after a successful switch, you could be overpaying within months.

‍

Termina eliminates this problem by automatically comparing business electricity and gas plans every month. 

‍

If a cheaper rate becomes available, we’ll switch you with no effort required. 

‍

This continuous optimisation ensures you’re always on the lowest price available, saving you from “lazy tax” and endless tendering cycles.

‍

Let Termina change business energy providers for you (and keep you on the best rate)

Here’s what makes Termina different from comparison sites and traditional energy brokers:

‍

  • No commissions, no favourites. Unlike brokers, we don’t get paid by retailers. Our only revenue comes from a share of the savings we deliver. That means our incentives are aligned with yours.

  • Group buying power. As Australia’s largest energy buyers group for businesses, we negotiate custom, below-market rates that you can’t get on your own.

  • Automatic savings. Whether you manage one office or hundreds of sites, Termina keeps every meter on the best available rate.

  • One platform for everything. Centralise data, generate reports for finance and ESG, and cut down on admin hours.

‍
