Utility Bills
With the current energy crisis in full swing understanding your utilities is paramount to stay on top of your bills. Indeed, understanding your utility bills will help you track your outgoings and may help you see if you’re paying too much.
What are Utilities?
Utilities are the basic services that your business needs to function. The most common utilities are:
- Broadband
- Electricity
- Gas
- Waste
- Water
The bill itself will outline the amount your business consumes each month as well as the cost of the bill, this may or may not differ each month depending on if you are on a fixed-rate contract or not.
Do a business’ utilities vary depending on the company?
Yes, utilities vary between businesses because of their different needs. Whilst a pub is required by law to provide both their staff and customers warm running water and toilets, a food van, on the other hand, is not.
Furthermore, the amount each business needs differs. As a rule of thumb, the amount you pay for your utilities is relative to your business’ gas and electricity consumption, however, the cost of a business’ utilities is dependent upon several variables including: location, industry, energy usage and efficiency as well as the size of your business premises.
