Compare business water suppliers across Yorkshire in just a few clicks. Better service, clearer billing, and the right contract terms - find a retailer that works harder for your business.
The business water market in England, including all of Yorkshire, was fully deregulated in April 2017. Since then, every business in South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire has been free to choose who manages their water account. Yorkshire Water and other wholesalers still own and maintain the pipes and infrastructure, but licensed retailers compete to handle your billing, meter reading, and customer service.
That means if your current supplier isn't performing, whether that's inaccurate bills, poor customer service, or confusing contract terms, you have the freedom to switch. Love Business helps Yorkshire businesses compare available top-rated retailers on their panel.
South Yorkshire is home to a wide range of businesses, from manufacturing and logistics to hospitality and professional services. All of them have been free to choose their business water retailer since 2017.

South Yorkshire has a great mix of businesses, including tourism, agriculture, hospitality, and retail businesses that benefit from the flexibility that the competitive water market brings.

Since April 2017, all businesses in England, including every business in South, North, and West Yorkshire, have been free to choose their water retailer.

What are the benefits of switching business water suppliers?
The main benefits are improved service, clearer billing, and contract terms that suit your business better. A competitive market means you're not locked in with a supplier that isn't meeting your needs. Some businesses may also find cost benefits when comparing options, though this isn't guaranteed and depends on your current tariff and usage. Comparing through Love Business gives you a clear picture of what's available, so you can make the right decision for your Yorkshire business.
Will switching affect my water supply or service?
No. When you switch your business water supplier, your physical supply remains completely unchanged. The pipes, infrastructure, and water quality are all managed by Yorkshire Water as the wholesaler. Your new retailer handles billing and customer service only. There's no interruption, no engineer visit, and no impact on your day-to-day operations.
