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 independent bill validation services 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 hundreds of bills monthly
Organisations with complex half-hourly metering or flexible contracts
Property managers recharging tenants or service charge budgets
Businesses preparing for ESOS, SECR or ISO 50001 compliance
Finance teams under pressure to reduce operating costs

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

Case Study: Manufacturer Recovers £38,000 in Gas Overcharges
