Arbor for Business costs you nothing to get started — the electricity suppliers pay Arbor once you're switched onto a fixed-rate plan, so there's no monthly or annual fee. What you actually pay is the supply rate Arbor secures for your usage, and you see it before you sign anything.
Arbor for Business is free to set up and use. The electricity suppliers pay Arbor when you switch, so the savings on your supply rate stay with you.
Here's how it works in practice.
Arbor for Business
Price: $0 to you — suppliers pay Arbor
Best For: Small and mid-sized businesses in states with energy choice, from a single cafe to a multi-location operator
Other Features:
- Fixed electricity supply rates that shield you from market swings
- An Arbor advisor who reviews your locations, your usage and your current contract dates
- Ongoing market monitoring, so a new fixed rate is lined up before each plan expires
- Same utility, same meter, same bill — only the supply rate changes
- Setup takes about two minutes
If you run a shop, a cafe or a small chain, this is the path for you. Link your locations once and Arbor checks what you pay today, how much energy you use, and where the savings are. You'll get an advisor who knows your business, not a call centre. Larger or more complicated accounts get handled directly instead of through standard sign-up, so ask if your setup is unusual. 🙂
Larger or Multi-Location Accounts
Best For: Businesses with many locations, unusual usage, or a contract that's hard to read
Other Features:
- A custom quote that covers every location
- One point of contact at [email protected]
When one account isn't enough, this route makes sense. Tell Arbor about your sites and your contract dates, and they'll build a quote around them. It's worth asking early if your renewal is close. Smaller businesses rarely need this — the standard sign-up covers most of them.
There's no free trial and no money-back window, because there's nothing to pay upfront. Instead, check the exit terms before you sign: some supplier contracts charge an early termination fee if you leave before the term ends, and those fees fall to you, not to Arbor. Arbor says it will always show you the applicable fees before switching your rate. Two timing details matter too. Quoted rates expire at 11:59:59 PM Eastern on the day they're quoted, and your emailed signature link expires after five days. Signing the same day keeps the rate you were shown.
