Buy an Off-the-shelf Energy Supply Business

Pre-accredited “off-the-shelf” energy supply businesses

Purchase a company ready to enter the market with a full suite of business processes and policies that are supported by our managed services team. We sell pre-accredited supply businesses, which we call ‘Off-the-Shelf Supply Companies’, that have acceded to all the necessary codes and regulations of ​ELEXON and RECCo, and are ready to start the supply licence application process with Ofgem. Once a licence is granted the company can enter Controlled Market Entry (CME) straight away.


It is estimated that the most common route to market for new energy suppliers is the purchase of a pre-accredited “off-the-shelf” supply businesses.


Dyball Associates create limited companies via Companies House, and take those legal entities through the qualification procedures for both gas and electricity. Upon receipt of PAB and MEPB sign-off, the company becomes ready to enter the Ofgem supply licence application process. The purchaser completes the acquisition of the company via simple Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). 


Following completion of the SPA, we will support you with these completion activities:

 

  • Ofgem supply licence application
  • Accession to DCUSA
  • Accession to CUSC
  • CVA relationship/solution
  • Agent Relationships (DC/DA & MOP)
  • Controlled Market Entry (CME) Proposal Agreement with MRASCo and Commencement Forms
  • Industry name/responsible party change forms

 

Buy an off the shelf company


With the purchase of the company, copies of the business processes and policies used to achieve qualification are included, as well as a contract with Dyball Associates for the provision of software, managed services and data quality. 


A handful of housekeeping exercises need to be completed, which Dyball Associates will guide you through step-by-step. The estimated time to market for an “off-the-shelf” supply business is 4-6 weeks after the granting of a supply licence.
