Every other energy broker gets paid by the retailer. We get paid from your savings. If we can't find you a better deal, you pay us nothing. That's it. That's the whole thing.
It's not that they don't want to. Their contracts won't let them. Ours are built the opposite way so we're always looking for the next best rate, not locking you onto one.
Why you're overpaying
Energy is confusing by design. Retailers change rates constantly. Brokers take commissions to look the other way. You're running a business you don't have time to check. And the industry counts on that.
The result: thousands of dollars quietly leaving your account every year, going to a retailer who knows their customers won't shop around.
Real results
Real businesses. Real numbers. Not estimates.
Hospitality
$37K
annual savings
Multi-site hospitality business. Their previous broker hadn't checked their rate in 3 years. We found $37K in savings in 48 hours.
Franchise
$4,600
back in the till every year
Franchise operator was on a standard retail rate. We switched them to our group buying rate the kind that used to be reserved for large corporates only.
Retail
9%
off their energy spend
Single-site retail business. Previous broker had them on the same contract for 3 years. We found a better rate in 48 hours and switched them automatically.
How it works
No energy expertise needed. No hours on hold. No spreadsheets at 10pm. One bill and we're off.
Two minutes. We use your actual usage and rate not a generic estimate to see exactly what you should be paying.
We compare every retailer in the market. Including our group buying rate the one that used to be reserved for large corporates. You get a clear report within 24 hours.
We handle the entire switch. Then we check every month and move you automatically when a better rate appears. You don't lift a finger. Ever.
Why your current broker structurally cannot do this
Most brokers would love to do what we do. But they're locked into a model that makes it impossible. Three reasons and none of them are excuses.
Once you sign with a broker, their retailer agreement typically prevents them from renegotiating your rate for 12 to 24 months. We don't have that agreement. We check every month. Always have.
A broker's model is one customer, one deal, one commission. There's no way to bundle hundreds of small businesses and negotiate as one. Our entire model is the bundle. 9,000+ businesses in one buying group.
Even if a broker could pool you, they'd be negotiating against the people writing their cheques. We don't take retailer commissions. The only cheques we get are from customers and only when we save them money.
So when we say "we're on your side", it's not a tagline. The contracts we sign are different. The way we make money is different. The leverage we have is different. We're not a better broker. We're a different thing entirely.
What this actually costs you
Here's a worked example for a typical small business. Every number is real.
You only pay if we save you money. If your current rate is already the best we can find, you owe us nothing. Ever. That's not small print it's the whole model.
The split never changes. We don't hike it once you're locked in because you're never locked in. Same deal in year 1 as year 5.
The compounding is the point. Every month we re-check. Every new business that joins adds to our buying power. The rates keep getting better for everyone already in.

"We built Termina because brokers are paid by retailers, not by you. That means they'll never show you the cheapest deal. Our model is simple: we only get paid when you save money. The whole company is built around that one idea."
