A sharper power deal, sorted by the family that's done it since 2015.

I'll take the bill off your hands, put the retailers head to head, and ring you back with the number that's actually worth signing. You pay nothing, the retailer pays me when you switch.

No cost to you. We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.

What are we pricing?

We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you. No obligation, no fee.

Powering businesses for less

We do the haggling. You pocket the difference.

The available retailer panel put to work on every bill, power and gas. The retailer pays us, so it costs you nothing. My dad drew this out in a meeting years ago and it still holds up.

The honest bit

You're probably overpaying. Most Brisbane businesses are.

Energy retailers count on you doing nothing. Auto-renewals quietly stack hidden margin. Plans designed for last year's market are still running this year's bills. And nobody's calling you to say "hey, you could be on a better rate."

The average Brisbane cafe we audit is overpaying by $1,200 to $2,400 a year. Just from being on the wrong plan. Not because the retailer is dodgy, because no one has rebid the contract in eighteen months.

That's the gap we close. Two minutes of your time, eight retailers compared, one honest recommendation.

Who we look after

Built for businesses like yours.

Meet the team

Built in Brisbane. Backed by a decade of broking.

My dad has run the original Smarta Switch in the UK since 2015, hundreds of pubs, cafes and shops on the books and well over AUD $350k saved for business owners last year alone. Chloe and I are bringing that same playbook to Brisbane: same brand, same standards, Australian feet on the ground.

"Most power bills have money leaking out of a line nobody bothers to read. Send me yours, I'll find it, and I'll give you the real number. Already on a sharp deal? I'll tell you straight and let you get back to work."

"I'm the engine behind Smarta: I run your switch, then stick around for the renewal so you're not back on a bad rate in a year. No 1300 number, no hold music, no 'your call is important to us'. You get a real person who picks up. Revolutionary, I know."

Common questions

The bits people ask before they pick up the phone.

How exactly are Smarta Switch paid?
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission, partly upfront, partly as a trail over the life of the contract. We don't charge you a fee, mark up your rate, or add anything to your invoice. Ask us the exact dollar amount on any specific deal, we'll tell you.
Will my power get cut off when I switch?
No. Switching retailers doesn't touch the wires or your meter. Same poles, same wires, same network operator (Energex for nearly all SEQ). You just get a different name on your invoice, and a better number.
How long does a switch take?
Typical SEQ small-business switch: 10–20 business days from signing the Letter of Authority. We send the LoA, you sign, we lodge with the new retailer, they handle the meter-data hand-off with the network. Your old contract ends, the new one starts.
What's a demand charge and why is mine so high?
Demand charges are the highest 15- or 30-minute usage peak in the month, multiplied by a $/kVA rate. If you've got AC cycling on at the same time as kitchen equipment, that peak compounds. The fix is usually a tariff that prices demand more fairly, or moving you off demand-tariffs altogether if your usage is too small to need them.
Am I on the right small-business tariff?
Probably not. Retailers don't migrate you automatically when better tariffs become available. We look at your usage profile, your peak demand, and your trading hours, then map you to the tariff your bill actually wants.
When should I renew my contract?
60–90 days before your current term ends. Don't let it roll over to default rates, those are usually 15–30% higher than what's available on the market. Send us your bill 60 days out and we'll re-quote.
Should I be on time-of-use or flat-rate?
Depends on your usage pattern. Cafes open 6am–2pm usually win on flat-rate. Gyms with split 5–9am and 4–8pm windows usually win on TOU. We test both with your real meter data, not a generic assumption.

Two minutes today. Probably hundreds saved next month.

No commitment. No pressure. Just a clear comparison of what you could save, and a real person on the end of the phone if you want to talk it through.
