Energy Reclaim Hub
A lead generation platform that helps UK businesses claim compensation for undisclosed commissions hidden in their energy contracts.
The Problem
UK businesses routinely use energy brokers to find better rates on their gas and electricity contracts. What most don't realize is that these brokers often earn significant commissions-sometimes 25-75% of the energy bill-that are never disclosed to the customer. These hidden fees are technically illegal under UK regulations, meaning affected businesses can claim substantial compensation. But most businesses don't know they're entitled to anything, and those who do find the claims process confusing and inaccessible.
The Solution
Energy Reclaim Hub educates business owners on how energy broker commissions work and provides a streamlined way to submit a claim. The site walks visitors through the issue with clear explanations and visual diagrams, then offers a claims calculator where they can upload supporting documents-energy contracts, bills, broker correspondence-directly through the browser. The form packages everything into a single submission and routes it to the claims team for review. It's designed to feel accessible rather than legal, lowering the barrier for businesses who wouldn't otherwise pursue compensation.
How It Works
- 1 Education First: The homepage explains what energy broker commissions are, how they're hidden, and why businesses are entitled to reclaim them-complete with diagrams and testimonials.
- 2 Document Collection: Users fill out a claim form with their business details and upload relevant documents through a drag-and-drop interface. The backend generates a unique folder for each submission.
- 3 Packaging & Delivery: Uploaded files are bundled into a ZIP archive alongside a structured data file containing the client's information. The entire package is emailed to the claims team as an attachment.
- 4 Contact Handling: A separate contact form allows general inquiries, also routed via email with full context for follow-up.
