Our story
Built around a problem, not a product
Business energy contracts renew quietly, and by default. ECR was set up to make that moment a deliberate decision instead.
The problem with renewals
Most business owners are focused on running their business, not tracking a three-year-old energy contract. Suppliers know this. Left unmanaged, a contract that reaches its end date typically rolls onto an out-of-contract or deemed rate — usually the most expensive way to buy energy — rather than stopping.
We started ECR to sit on the business side of that relationship: tracking dates, explaining the market in plain terms, and giving a business time to make a real decision before the default one is made for them.
How we work today
As a broker, we review commercial electricity, gas and water arrangements against how a business actually consumes energy, present the available options clearly, and manage the process with the chosen supplier if a business decides to move.
Suppliers pay us commission for contracts placed through ECR — we do not charge businesses a direct fee for a comparison. We think that should be said plainly, which is why it's set out in our terms.
What matters to us
Plain English, before the deadline
- Clarity. No jargon dressed up as expertise.
- Timing. Renewal conversations start well before expiry, not after.
- Continuity. A named specialist stays involved after a contract is signed, not just up to it.

A short conversation is usually enough to know.
