Green Light Consultancy Group

What Green Light Consultancy Group does

Green Light Consultancy Group Limited is a UK-based business energy and utility comparison and switching consultancy. Founded in 2021 and operating from Bedford with a registered office in Barnet, the firm serves UK commercial customers across verticals including manufacturing, hospitality, retail, charities, places of worship, takeaways, offices, and barbershops, plus a separate residential energy offering. Dedicated account managers handle the full procurement workflow — searching suppliers, comparing tariffs, negotiating contracts, and managing renewals — across a network of major UK energy and water suppliers including British Gas, E.on, Scottish Power, EDF, SSE, Total Energies, Corona Energy, Smartest Energy, Utilita, Crown Gas & Power, Valda Energy, YU Energy, SEFE, npower, Jellyfish Energy, Opus Energy, Water Plus, and Everflow.

The company's service portfolio centres on three core procurement lines — Business Electricity, Business Gas, and Business Water — supplemented by Contract Checking, Procurement, and ongoing Customer Services. Optional add-ons include Energy Management Services (EMS) with cloud-based consumption monitoring and business energy audits. The firm has built out eight industry-specific vertical landing pages to support targeted customer acquisition and maintains a 100% renewable-energy supplier positioning. The company does not operate proprietary technology; its digital stack consists of standard third-party APIs (Google ReCAPTCHA, Google Maps, Google Fonts, Cookie Script) and public registry lookups for entity verification.

GLCG earns revenue entirely through supplier commissions capped at 3p/kWh on contracted energy volume, with no direct customer fees. The commission model creates multi-year revenue tied to contract origination and renewal cycles. Distribution relies on a website-led funnel, organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram), referral/word-of-mouth, and an emerging regional sports-sponsorship programme spanning Norwich City FC, Bedford Blues, Peterborough United Foundation, and Lincoln City FC. With 15 employees, the firm has cumulatively helped 15,000+ businesses and manages £600M of customer energy spend, and it has begun extending beyond the UK into the Republic of Ireland.

Revenue model

1. Supplier Commission: Green Light Consultancy Group is remunerated directly by energy and utility suppliers through commissions for securing and finalising supply contracts between the customer and the supplier. The commission amount is included within the cost of the supply contract and is calculated by multiplying the commission amount by the forecast consumption amount for the whole period of the supply contract. Commission may also apply to rates other than the energy unit rate, including meter standing charges, meter installation fees, meter operator agreement charges, and data collector/aggregator agreement charges.
