Managing separate contracts for business gas, electricity, and card payments can be time-consuming and costly. But did you know that bundling these services through a single provider can unlock savings, reduce admin, and even improve your cash flow?
At Scalex Technology, we help UK businesses simplify utility management by offering bespoke bundled solutions. In this blog, we’ll explain how bundling works, who it’s for, and why it could be the smartest move for your business in 2025.
🔄 What Does Bundling Utilities and Payments Mean?
Bundling means combining your:
- Gas supply
- Electricity contract
- Merchant services (card machines & payment processing)
…under one supplier or consultancy, instead of managing them through different providers and contracts.
💰 Benefits of Bundling Your Business Services
✅ 1. Cost Savings
Bundling services allows providers like Scalex Technology to negotiate volume discounts, meaning you could pay less overall compared to separate contracts.
✅ 2. Simplified Billing
Get one monthly invoice for all services. No more juggling multiple suppliers, payment dates, or contract terms.
✅ 3. More Leverage
Bundled accounts often provide greater negotiating power when it comes time to renew, adjust, or upgrade services.
✅ 4. Improved Cash Flow
Flexible payment options for both energy and card services can be aligned with your business income cycles, improving cash flow predictability.
✅ 5. Energy + Payment Insights
Scalex Technology offers smart metering and reporting tools that combine energy use and transaction data to help identify:
- Cost-saving opportunities
- Peak hours of usage and spending
- Better tariff and rate choices
🧠 Who Should Consider Bundling?
Bundling is ideal for:
- Retailers
- Hospitality venues (cafés, pubs, restaurants)
- Warehouses
- Offices & co-working spaces
- Franchises or multi-site businesses
If your business uses both energy and merchant payment services, you’re leaving money on the table by managing them separately.
