Business funding and support
We partner with organisations to help with funding and other support for your business.
Energy Cost Support for Businesses
On 8 September 2022 the Government announced that businesses and other non-domestic energy users will be offered support equivalent to that being provided for consumers for a period of six months.
After this initial six month scheme, the Government will provide ongoing, focused support for vulnerable industries. A review three months into the initial scheme will consider where this focused support should be targeted to help those most in need.
While this scheme will be funded by the Government, action is being taken to reform and address the long term issues in the UK’s energy sector.
The Government will publish further details shortly. In the meantime, if you need help or advice about your energy bills you can visit Getting help if your business can't afford its energy bills.
