Check out one of their latest business-related reviews below:
BG (British Gas) Lite is the current electric meter supplier at this property address, which we purchased at the end of June. The meter is a commercial meter. The property has units downstairs and a flat above.
We have tried to move the new owners to transfer from the previous owners. The only way to contact BG Lite is via Chat.
We have tried four times to transfer ownership. We provided them with the requested documents, including the TR1 document signed by the seller and us as purchasers. We also provided the Council Tax bill for the flat above and other documents to show the ownership.
The Land Registry has a backlog and still needs to update the Deed details for the new owners.
Despite our efforts, BG Lite insists on receiving the TR1 document directly from the Land Registry. This process takes up to an hour, and we are unable to proceed with the transfer until this document is provided.
They are absolutely a WASTE of TIME and ZERO RATED company. DO NOT GO ANYWAY NEAR IT.

Information on British Gas Business Electricity
The energy industry has a strategy of moving households and businesses onto smart meters or half-hourly meters. For businesses, the P272 legislation changed all meters starting with 05 or above into externally readable meter readings. Data is extracted remotely and fed directly into your billing invoice.
Your invoice multiplies your tariff unit rate by the consumption data to arrive at a total cost. Additional charges for renewable initiatives plus VAT provides a total bill.
There is no longer a requirement to read your meter manually. The good news for British Gas customers is that rates are slightly cheaper for a half-hourly tariff.
To compare and quote for British Gas electricity, our advice is to use an independent energy broker. All will have access to each supplier’s tariff book and can advise on the lowest price for your company. A broker can also manage your contract when it renews.
