The price you pay for business gas will be affected by a range of factors, including:
To give you a rough idea of how much you should be paying, here are the latest business gas rates for January 2025:
| Business size | Gas unit price per kWh | Gas daily standing charge |
| Micro Business | 7.4p | 38.6p |
| Small Business | 7.3p | 38.6p |
| Medium Business | 7.6p | 45.8p |
| Large Business | 7.2p | 50.7p |
Note: Prices are correct as of January 2025. Rates and bill size may vary according to your meter type and business location. The prices you’re quoted may be different from the averages shown. The figures shown are the average unit rates and standing charges on contracts sold by Bionic from January 2 to January 9, 2025.
Each business uses energy differently, so the figures above should only be used as a guide when calculating the rates you should be paying. Speak to the energy experts at Bionic and we’ll find a business gas tariff that your business's exact needs.
The cost of your business gas bills will vary depending upon the type of contract you're on, the rates you're paying, and the amount of gas you use. We've looked at the latest rates and crunched the numbers to give you but here’s a rough idea of how much a business of your size should be paying each year, based on January's rates:
| Business size | Annual usage | Cost per year |
| Micro Business | 5,000 to 15,000 kWh | £881 (based on annual usage of 10,000kWh) |
| Small Business | 15,000 to 30,000 kWh | £1,783 (based on annual usage of 22,500kWh) |
| Medium Business | 30,000 to 65,000 kWh | £3,777 (based on annual usage of 47,500kWh) |
| Large Business | More than 65,000 kWh | £4,865 (based on annual usage of 65,000kWh) |
It can be easy to lose track of who supplies your business gas, especially if you're on a three-year fix and don't need to think about things until your contract is up for renewal.
Checking your latest bill or emails is the simplest way to find out who your supplier is, or you can call the Meter Number Helpline on 0870 6081524 or use the Find My Supplier website. If using either of these services, you'll need to have your meter point reference number (MPRN) to hand. Learn more in our guide to MPAN and MPRN numbers.

MPRN is a unique number for your gas meter. It is up to 11 digits long and is used to identify the meter at your business premises.
You can usually find your MPRN on your business gas bill under the “Details of charges” section.
Alternatively, you can search online for your MPRN by entering your postcode at Find My Supplier or by calling the meter number helpline on 0870 608 1524. Provide your business postcode and the first line of your address, and they’ll let you know your MPRN and the name of your current gas supplier.
For more guidance, check out our guide to MPAN and MPRN.
Most businesses pay the standard 20% VAT on gas, but you might qualify for the lower 5% rate if you run a charity or a not-for-profit organization.
You might also be eligible for a discount if you use less than 4,397 kWh of gas each month. If you’re unsure about your usage, you can find the exact figure on your latest bill.
If you qualify for the lower rate, contact your gas supplier and request a VAT declaration form. For more information, check out our guide to VAT for business gas and electricity.
Even if your gas is supplied by an IGT, there’s nothing stopping you from comparing gas prices and switching suppliers, but you might find your switch takes a bit longer and the deal you’re offered might not be as competitive as others.
This is because the costs involved in supplying and maintaining IGTs are relatively high, which means the standing charge is often higher. And when you compare gas quotes, the extra IGT charges won’t be included, so you’ll also have to factor these costs in on top of the rates you’re offered. It’s important to compare deals from a range of suppliers, as you might find some of the bigger providers will take on the IGT charges to get your custom.
Business gas prices are always changing. The only way to make sure you’re on the best deal is to compare prices and switch. And remember, signing up to a new deal as soon as your switching window opens can help you lock in lower rates and beat any energy price rises.
Although business and domestic measurement units are the same, the tariffs are not. Business and domestic deals are very different in both cost and contract type.
Although business gas may appear more expensive, the rates offered are usually cheaper and bills only appear more expensive because VAT is charged at a standard rate of 20% on business gas and electricity, as opposed to 5% on domestic energy.
Microbusiness gas is simply a business gas deal that’s been designed for a microbusiness.
A micro business is one that has no more than 10 employees and a turnover of less than £1.7 million. Often suppliers can offer special rates for these kinds of enterprises.
The threshold for qualifying as a microbusiness are as follows, you must:
