    Bill Validation Services for Business Energy Accuracy

    Professional Bill Validation Services for UK Businesses

     

    If your business receives regular energy bills but lacks the time or expertise to check every charge, you may be overpaying without realising it. Inteb provides ISO 9001-accredited processes to ensure that every electricity, gas and water invoice you receive is accurate, justified, and in line with contract terms.

    We support businesses of all sizes across the UK by identifying overcharges, correcting supplier errors, and providing the clarity needed to manage energy costs confidently.

    What Is Bill Validation?

    Bill validation is the process of reviewing and verifying utility invoices to ensure they are accurate and compliant with your contract and usage.

    With bill validation, we can:

    • Check your bills against agreed tariffs and consumption data
    • Flag discrepancies such as incorrect rates, standing charges or estimated reads
    • Recover overpayments or secure credit notes
    • Spot ongoing issues such as meter faults or supplier errors
    • Provide full visibility and transparency in your utility costs

    Without validation, many businesses unknowingly overpay, especially those managing multiple sites or complex contracts.

    Who Needs Bill Validation?

    Bill validation is especially valuable for:

    • Multi-site businesses receiving high volumes of utility invoices
    • Organisations with half-hourly metering, pass-through costs, or flexible contracts
    • Property managers responsible for tenant recharging or service charge budgets
    • Businesses preparing for ESOS, SECR, or ISO 50001 compliance
    • Finance teams aiming to reduce operating costs and avoid billing risks

    Even a 1–2% billing error can result in thousands of pounds in lost revenue each year.

    Our service is more than a line-by-line check. We combine technical knowledge with real-world energy contract experience to deliver a proactive, ongoing validation solution. We go beyond basic checks. We combine deep technical knowledge with real-world contract expertise to deliver a proactive, end-to-end validation solution.

    Case Study: Bill Validation Across 1,000 Utility Supply Points

    Inteb delivered comprehensive bill validation services for a national property management company overseeing more than 1,000 utility supply points across commercial and residential sites. Over a three-year contract, we worked with their finance, facilities, and building management teams to audit utility invoices against contract terms and actual consumption. We identified and resolved issues such as incorrect tariffs, duplicate charges, and estimated readings—recovering hundreds of thousands of pounds.
