Billscutter 
The entire UK energy market for gas and electricity has been deregulated allowing any individual or business user with a gas or electricity meter to freely choose their own supplier, this has created an environment for franchise entrepreneurs to join one of the UK’s biggest and exciting market places – energy!
Up until recently it has been almost impossible to compare which is the cheapest supplier available and the actual process of switching suppliers has been seen as tedious and complicated by the public. www.billscutter.com has created a simple and easy solution that allows any user to immediately identify and switch to the cheapest supplier nationwide. The process is done online, and in around 5 minutes a typical domestic user can save around £270 per annum, the savings for businesses can be very substantial indeed.
