Energy Reclaims
Most businesses have been mis-sold their energy contracts
On 28th March 2022, OFGEM released a report that confirms most businesses have been mis-sold energy contracts as they did not contain information about broker fees, a broker is required to be transparent about any commission(s) paid to them by your energy supplier. UK businesses can claim up to 80% of all energy bills going back as far as the year 2000 – not just broker fees!

Have you taken out an energy contract within the last 20 years via a broker?
How can Blue Commercial help?
The good news is that assistance is available to help businesses secure the maximum settlement they are rightfully entitled to.
The process involves recovering the settlement fee directly from the energy supplier, rather than pursuing the broker.
This approach results in claims that are significantly more substantial—two to three times higher, in fact—compared to those pursued by competitors.

FAQs
What is the basis for the claim?
Energy companies failed to disclose commissions on their contracts where brokers were used. This practice is unlawful and amounts to a common law bribe.
How much can you reclaim?
Most companies only try to reclaim the fee from the broker, but we go after the energy companies profits as well as the fees they paid to brokers – meaning up to 80% of your energy costs could be reclaimed, going back 20+ years.
How long does the process take?
You will know within a few weeks if you have a valid claim, but the claim process can vary greatly depending on the number of suppliers & years you are claiming for.
Will I have to go to court?
Most of our cases are settled before reaching the court stage, but in the unlikely event that your case does go to court, your solicitor will attend with you.
Do you have an example?
Below is an example based on 100,000 kWh used.
| Cost on your contract | 35p/ kWh | £35,000 |
| Broker fees | 5p/ kWh | £5,000 |
| Supplier Profits | 23p/ kWh | £23,000 |
| Recovery Amount | 28p/ kWh | £28,000 |
You could claim back up to £28,000 in this example.

R&D
Research and development (R&D) tax credits were launched in 2001 (updated in April 2023) to reward businesses for innovating and developing their products, processes or service.
It is a highly valuable incentive, that can provide substantial tax relief on eligible R&D expenditure. In certain circumstances you can claim up to 33.35% of a company’s R&D spend, which is recovered either as a reduction in Corporation Tax or a cash repayment for reinvestment in company growth or further innovation.
The government has a target to raise investment in R&D to 2.4% of UK GDP by 2027; R&D tax relief forms part of that goal by reducing the cost of innovation for UK companies.
