How it works
Three steps, and two of them are ours.
1. Make an introduction
Introduce a business that may want help reviewing its essential services.
2. We do the work
We qualify the enquiry, prepare quotations and close the sale. Your contact chooses which relevant services to review — without pressure.
3. You can earn from successful referrals
Track progress in your portal. Qualifying commission is payable only once ESG has received it, checked it and approved the payment run.
What can you refer?
One relationship. Six service areas.
Start with the need your contact mentions. We can offer other relevant reviews if they want them — not every service suits every business.
Business Electricity & Gas
Contract reviews, renewals and new supply.
Water
Business water supply and wastewater charges.
Waste
Commercial waste and recycling collections.
Broadband & Telecoms
Connectivity, phone systems and VoIP.
Business Mobiles

Card Payments

A café, for example
A card payment introduction can start a wider conversation.
You introduce a café looking to review its card payments. It may also need better broadband or an energy contract review. ESG asks what matters to the owner and offers only relevant services, with their choice at every step.
Additional qualifying services may create further earning opportunities, subject to the referral agreement and confirmed attribution. An introduction or quotation alone does not create payable commission.
Clear updates, without doing the sales work
Your existing partner portal brings together referrals, per-service progress, commission status and payment statements. Pending commission is still being checked; confirmed commission has been verified, with payment subject to the approved run. Paid is a separate recorded status.

No expertise required
You make the introduction. We handle the rest.
Referral partners don't quote energy, negotiate supplier contracts or give technical advice. Energy Saving Guru deals directly with the business and manages the relevant process from there.
You're welcome to stay involved and we'll keep you updated, but nothing about the process depends on you understanding the market.
Who could this suit?
- Accountants and bookkeepers
- Business consultants
- Commercial property professionals

FAQ
Common questions from referral partners
Do I need industry experience?
No. Use your existing business network to make a relevant introduction. We handle the service review, suppliers and paperwork.
Do I have to sell anything?
No selling is required. You introduce the business with permission; ESG qualifies the enquiry, prepares quotations and closes the sale. We treat your contacts professionally, with no pressure to take a service.
What services can I refer?
Business electricity and gas, water, waste, broadband and telecoms, business mobiles and card payments. One business often needs more than one.
What is the 20% commission based on?
The standard rate is 20% of net qualifying commission actually received and retained by Energy Saving Guru — not 20% of the customer's bill or contract value. Direct deal-specific deductions and clawbacks apply; normal staff, office and software overheads are not deducted. Eligibility is subject to the Referral Partner Terms. The normal commission does not apply to a business you own or control.
When is commission payable?
Only after ESG actually receives the corresponding qualifying commission or revenue. A signed contract or live service alone is not enough. Eligible receipts on or before the 14th normally go into the payment run due on the 21st; later receipts normally go into the following month's run. Weekends and bank holidays move payment to the next working day. Payment is subject to review, approval and verification; delays can occur. Instalment receipts may produce instalment payments, and there is no minimum payout threshold.
Can additional services create further earnings?
Yes, your qualifying introduction is not restricted to the first service mentioned. Additional qualifying initial services placed for the same referred customer may earn 20% of the qualifying commission ESG receives and retains, subject to the referral agreement and confirmed attribution. This is not lifetime customer ownership or an automatic payment promise. Qualifying renewals are subject to the agreement, continued Active Partner eligibility and ESG receiving and retaining the corresponding commission.
How is my introduction attributed and tracked?
The first valid recorded introduction normally receives attribution, subject to existing opportunities and other protected referrals. Valid referrals are normally protected for three months; an active opportunity established within that period retains attribution while genuinely progressing. ESG makes the final reasonable attribution decision using the records. Your portal shows recorded service progress, commission checks, payment status and statements — not guaranteed future earnings. Pending means being checked; confirmed means due on the next payment run, subject to approval; Paid means payment has been sent.
Can I refer businesses anywhere in the UK?
Based in Scotland, helping businesses across the UK.
