Everflow

What Everflow does

Everflow is a UK-based business utilities provider that consolidates water supply, waste collection, environmental services, and broadband/phone connectivity into a single managed service for commercial customers. The company operates in the deregulated UK water retail market, where it has grown to supply 100,000+ business premises and captured approximately 1 in 4 UK water switches in the trailing 12 months. Its proprietary technology is a customer portal platform that supports quote requests, contract management, and consolidated utility administration for SMB customers, supplemented by a broker/partner referral channel.

Everflow's revenue model is subscription-based, built on recurring annual utility supply contracts priced per business needs with an advertised average 30% water contract saving for small businesses. The company reported revenue of £78m in FY21/22, up from £65m, alongside a 41% increase in headcount in 2021 funded in part by a £750,000 debt facility from NPIF - FW Capital. Additional growth capital has been provided by Perwyn (2018) and Paceline Equity Partners (2025). Customer retention stands at 97%, indicating strong contractual stickiness in the SMB segment.

The company differentiates itself through sustainability positioning: it operates the UK's first carbon offset water and waste supply service, was the first UK water company to sign The Climate Pledge committing to Net Zero by 2040, and reports a 58% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions over two years. Headquartered in Billingham with 101-250 employees, Everflow targets UK businesses of all sizes through direct website sales, a broker network, and an in-house portal for ongoing account management.
