We buy energy
businesses.
We are a profitable UK energy company in our own right, and we are growing by buying the businesses, products and services that make ours better: brokers, TPIs, consultancies, commission books, software and complementary B2B businesses. Funded, audited and structured around your tax, timing and future role.
Funded from our own reserves, with Allica Bank and Barclays as banking partners if a deal needs it.

Key facts about us
We service and power around one in ten of the UK’s registered energy brokers. So if you have not heard of us directly, the chances are you have come across us in one form or another.
Every broker selling to microbusinesses must be signed up to an approved redress scheme, and there are two. The Energy Ombudsman’s Broker Report puts 1,952 brokers in its scheme at the end of 2025, and the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman lists a little over 200 energy broker members, giving roughly 2,150 registered brokers in total. Over 200 sub-brokers are registered with us, so around one in ten. On top of that, tens of thousands of businesses use our Envisij software to track their cost, consumption and carbon.
4.5TWh a year is roughly what 1.5 million UK homes use, or a city the size of Newcastle and Sunderland combined. Put another way, it is about 2,000 supermarket superstores, 15,000 mid-sized hotels, or the entire annual demand of a large steelworks and its supply chain.
We are an energy company that buys other energy businesses
Tritility has been trading profitably since 2019. We are not a fund assembling a portfolio, and we are not a consolidator buying commission books to flip. We are an operating energy business with 150 people in Jarrow serving thousands of UK companies every day: procurement across every major supplier, contract and renewal management, bill validation, capacity and cost forecasting, a full account management team, an indirect channel supporting more than 200 sub-broker partners, and our own software in the Envisij energy management platform and DemandIQ.
Acquisition is how we grow that offer. When we buy a business we are buying its customers, yes, but also its products, its services, its data, its software and the people who built them, and folding all of it into what we already run. Your service does not get switched off and absorbed. If it is good, it becomes part of what every Tritility customer and every partner broker can buy.
- Business energy procurement across every major supplier
- Contract, renewal and portfolio management
- Bill validation and cost recovery
- Capacity cost forecasting with DemandIQ
- The Envisij energy management platform
- Clearbook™, our automated contract book due diligence and health reporting platform
- An indirect channel for 200+ sub-broker partners
Every acquisition adds to this list, which is why we are able to value the whole of your business rather than only the book.
Clearbook™, our automated contract book due diligence and health reporting platform
Clearbook is software we built to take the guesswork out of valuing a non-domestic energy book. It connects directly to the industry data sources (EES/ECOES, GES/Xoserve, Electralink and the DCC) and checks every contract for itself, instead of relying on a spreadsheet of expected commission.
Is the contract live?
Every supply point checked against industry records, contract by contract.
Is it with the right supplier?
Confirms the supply is still registered to the supplier the commission is being paid by.
Does consumption match?
Compares actual consumption against the forecast the commission was calculated on.
Evidenced end-of-contract value
A supported value for every contract, independent of the supplier's payment structure and of what has already been paid.
Your forward position
Across a whole book it gives an accurate forward commission position, not an estimate.
Verified valuations
The same evidence base is used to value any client or commission book we are considering buying.
For a seller this means the offer is based on evidence rather than an allowance for uncertainty, and diligence on your book takes days rather than months. It also lets us keep diligence deliberately light touch, run by our own internal team rather than an army of outside advisers, focused on the handful of things that genuinely matter. Anything that could get in the way is usually spotted before diligence even begins, so both sides start aligned and working towards the same completion date.
Find out more about Clearbook™The four kinds of business we buy
Whole brokers and TPIs
Share purchase where possible, so supplier agreements, letters of authority and customer contracts transfer intact. Any size in range, any region.
Commission books
Future commission from live contracts. Bought outright, or left with you on a pass-through schedule while we take the customers and renewals.
Customer portfolios
Live and renewal customers, with or without the people who serve them.
Complementary B2B businesses
Energy cost-management platforms, accountant and trade-body referral networks, energy software and data, metering and capacity services, water and telecoms brokerages.
Not for us: domestic switching, unresolved regulatory findings, books built on undisclosed commission.
More on what we buy and how we payFour things most other buyers will not do
We pay for the whole business
Most buyers only value the commission book. We also value the goodwill, the brand, the software, the referral relationships and the people, because we can run all of it.
We have the funding and we move quickly.
Funding is in place to proceed. We give an indicative offer within two weeks of a data pack, and we share our diligence questions at the first meeting.
You choose the structure
A clean exit, staying on and selling on commission, or keeping your commission book and selling the rest. Any combination of the three works, and we are happy to discuss you retaining equity after the sale so we stay aligned on long term value.
Your customers get more
Every contract goes to the supplier that is right for the customer. They also get free access to an energy management platform, capacity reviews and a full account management team.
Funding in place and accounts audited every year
Most deals are funded straight from our own reserves, with bank finance raised alongside them only where the size or structure of a transaction calls for it. Our accounts are audited every year, so an offer from us is not conditional on finding the money. Scale matters when you sell: it means the back office can absorb your customers and your book is looked after by a team of 150 rather than a handful of people.
Barclays and Allica Bank
Our banking partners, alongside our own reserves.
Johnston Carmichael
Independent auditors. Our accounts are audited every year.
Muckle LLP
External legal advisers on sales and acquisitions.
No offer we make is conditional on raising finance. Acquisitions sit alongside direct sales and the indirect channel as a planned growth line, with a budget behind it and a separate ventures company to hold businesses that keep their own identity.
Owners come to us for all sorts of reasons
Retirement or succession
Step back on your own timetable, with customers and staff in safe hands and the value realised in cash.
Growth has hit a ceiling
More customers means more compliance, admin and working capital than the business can carry alone.
Funding and cash flow
Longer supplier payment terms and tighter commission squeeze cash flow. A sale turns a future stream into capital now.
A new challenge
You have built one business and want to build the next. A clean exit or a stake in our ventures vehicle lets you move on.
Work inside a bigger broker
You like selling and dislike running a company. A salaried role with uncapped commission and our platform behind you.
Regulation is coming
Ofgem oversight, redress schemes and reporting fall hardest on small TPIs. Some owners prefer to sell before the cost lands.
Guaranteed confidentiality and discretion
The first thing we do is put an NDA in place. We have been through this process multiple times, we do not contact your customers, suppliers or staff without your consent, and at your choice the sale can remain completely confidential, even after completion.
The sale should fit your reason for selling
Take capital off the table, keep the income
Sell the business and keep collecting your existing commission book, or stay on in a salaried role with uncapped commission.
Stop carrying the back office alone
Compliance, legal, finance, retention and supplier management handled by functions that already exist. You go back to selling.
Give your customers and staff a wider platform
All major suppliers, an energy management platform and a career path for the people who built the business with you.
A clean, well-paid exit
Most of the price in cash at completion, a short deferral, a paid handover and a contribution to your legal and tax advice.
How the usual offer compares with ours
Sellers who take the standard offer get less than the business is worth, wait two years to be paid in full, and lose the relationships they built. We price the whole business, pay most of it at completion and defer the balance twelve months.
Six things worth asking any buyer for, all of which we offer
Certainty of funds
We have funding in place to proceed. Nothing is contingent on raising money.
Speed
Diligence pack ready on day one. Offer within two weeks of data. Most acquisitions complete in 8 to 12 weeks from indicative offer to completion, using light touch due diligence assisted by our own technology.
Flexible consideration
Cash, deferred, earn-out, pass-through book, retained shareholding, salaried role. Any combination.
Tax-led structuring
Share or asset deal, going-concern treatment, contribution to your advisers' fees.
A future for your people
Sales, ops, legal, finance and P&C functions in place. A career path and an EMI option scheme for senior hires.
Your customers stay well served
Every contract goes to the supplier worth the most to the customer. We stopped preferred-supplier placements and borrowed to do it.
Exit clean
You are paid up front, you work a handover period and then you are out.
Stay and sell
You are paid up front for the business in every case, then stay on employed by us on an attractive package, so you keep benefiting from the customer relationships you built. What our most recent seller chose.
Keep your book, sell the rest
We buy the goodwill, IP and operations, and we leave your existing commission book out of the deal. Rather than paying you a discounted lump sum for future commission, you keep 100% of that book value as it comes in, on top of the money for the goodwill, IP and operations.
Retain a stake
Whichever option you choose, partners keep an equity stake, so we stay aligned on the long-term value of what we build together.
Your book is checked against industry data by software
Our own internal system measures contract performance and links directly to industry data. Volumes, live contracts and commission are verified against the source rather than rebuilt by hand.
That takes weeks out of the process and removes most of the manual checks, reconciliations and disputes that slow a sale down. You spend less time answering questions and get to an offer sooner.
