• Opus Energy (Opus Business Energy): UK business energy supplier and consultancy serving SMEs and larger corporates with fixed/flexible contracts and account management. Closely comparable customer segments and product set, though Opus is also a licensed supplier rather than a pure broker.
• Utility Aid: UK not-for-profit energy broker and consultancy focused on the charity and third-sector market. Comparable broker model, supplier panel and consultative approach, with a narrower vertical focus than Consultiv.
• SaveMoneyCutCarbon: UK business energy and sustainability consultancy helping SMEs and corporates reduce energy costs and carbon. Comparable combination of energy procurement with sustainability/ESG advisory, similar target verticals.
• Ylem Energy: Independent UK energy consultancy and broker offering procurement, bureau, risk management and compliance services. Highly comparable modular service portfolio and target customer base.

• SmartestEnergy: UK business electricity supplier focused on renewable PPA origination and corporate energy procurement. Comparable on the corporate/PPA side of Consultiv's offering, but operates as a licensed supplier.
• EDF Energy Business Solutions: Large UK business energy supplier offering fixed/flexible contracts, energy management services and sustainability support. Comparable product set to Consultiv's corporate offering, but at much greater scale and as a Big Six incumbent.
