What Compare Energy Bills does

Compare Energy Bills Ltd, trading as CEB Consultants, is a privately-held UK business energy and infrastructure consultancy (Company Number 06373346) registered in England and Wales and headquartered in Codsall, Wolverhampton. The firm operates independently of any supplier or technology vendor and serves UK businesses ranging from SMEs to multi-site commercial and industrial operators, delivering commercial electricity, gas and water procurement, telecoms advisory, renewable energy integration, bill validation, energy audits, and HV/LV grid and infrastructure reviews.

The company does not build proprietary technology; its core capability is human advisory — specialist consultants negotiating contracts, validating bills, and advising on infrastructure and renewable strategy. Back-office operations are supported by GoCardless for monthly fee collection and DocuSign for electronic contract execution. The team is small (six named personnel including Managing Director Chris Jones, Sales Director Kate Jones, Head of Renewables Derek Jones, Senior Consultant Stavros Michaelides, Finance/Accounts lead Becky Harley, and Admin/Marketing lead Leanne Li), and the firm is founder-owned with no disclosed external investment.

CEB generates revenue through two distinct streams: a fee-based subscription model (fixed monthly fees per contract, billed monthly via GoCardless) and a commission-based brokerage model (commissions embedded in supplier contracts and continuing across renewals). Go-to-market is direct and consultative — book-a-consultation, no-obligation advice, plus proactive renewal management — with most new business originating from client referrals. The firm is a member of the Energy Ombudsman (C35COMP01) and registered with the ICO for data protection (ZA099459).

Revenue model

1. Fee-Based Consulting: Clients pay a fixed monthly fee negotiated and agreed in writing before signing. Fees commence in the same month the relevant contract goes live and continue for the contract duration. Collected monthly via GoCardless with invoices issued. For multi-site clients, fees are calculated per contract but invoiced as a single payment.
2. Commission-Based Brokerage: CEB receives commission payments included in the commercial Gas, Electric and Water contracts they negotiate on behalf of clients. Commissions are paid directly to CEB by the relevant supplier or service provider. Both parties agree on the selected payment model before proceeding with services.
