- Dragons’ Den – The Best Deal EVER
- December 21, 2018
Henry and Will pitched the Look After My Bills service on Dragons’ Den in summer of 2018.
All five Dragons wanted to invest in our service and it quickly became very competitive! Deborah Meaden said “anything that disrupts the blinking energy industry has got to be a good thing!”, Peter Jones really liked the idea and the thing that Jenny Campbell liked the most was the ethical part.
What is Look After My Bills? Our free energy switching service automatically switches you to great energy deals so that you never pay over the odds on a standard tariff (which is half of Great Britain!).
Henry and Will walked away with the backing of two Dragons, Tej Lalvani and Jenny Campbell, who shared 3% of the business for £120,000.
At the time it was the best deal in the history of the show – that’s the best in 13 years and 16 series of Dragons’ Den!

Pitching our service on Dragons’ Den was an equally awesome and scary experience. We were grilled for quite a few hours and it was a seriously tough negotiation but totally worth it!

Frequently asked questions
We keep the service free for you by taking a commission from the energy companies that we switch you to. Unlike price comparison sites this is the same amount whichever the energy company and we only switch you to companies we trust who have good customer service.
There are companies who want to pay us but we won’t switch you to. If they don’t provide good customer service then it’s not worth a few extra pounds to switch you to them. That’s how we keep the service free for you.
Our aim is to keep you on a fair deal forever.
That may not mean the very cheapest, that’s because we want to make sure we work with suppliers who value their customers and are committed to improving their customer service.
After you sign up we will switch you to a great energy deal when we can find you a saving.
When your first deal comes to an end we keep checking the market. If we can save you £50 or more or £15 if you have a prepayment meter then we’ll switch you again.
We aren’t a comparison site – we do auto-switching! But if you’d like to compare every single deal that’s out there we’d recommend you use the Citizens Advice Comparison Tool.
In order to keep our service free, we only switch you to suppliers who will pay us a commission. Don’t worry, if a supplier has terrible customer service we won’t switch you to them even if they want to pay us!
With Look After My Bills, you are always in control. You’ll get an email from Look After My Bills every time we are preparing to switch you. It will tell you who your new supplier is and the amount you pay for your electricity and gas based on what you’ve told us.
You should also get an email or letter from your new energy supplier.
You can always cancel the Look After My Bills service whenever you want! If you don’t like the supplier we switch you to then you will have a 14 day cooling off period with them to cancel the switch. You’re always in control!
