What Franchise - Issue 21.2

Launched in 2009 by founder Enzo Testa, Utilitrack brings clarity and choice to businesses facing rising energy costs and a crowded supplier landscape. 16 years on, it has become one of the UK’s most respected energy brokers, known for its commitment to franchise success “My vision for Utilitrack is to be the premier choice for commercial energy solutions,” says Enzo Testa. “We’re building a company where teammembers feel valued and confident that Utilitrack is the best place they have ever worked.” To keep barriers to entry low, the brand offers two flexible franchise routes: the Broker franchise, currently discounted to £4,995 + VAT, and the Business Development franchise at £19,995 +VAT. Both options allow franchisees to run a home-based business that fits their lifestyle, with top performers earning six-figure annual incomes.What matters most is entrepreneurial spirit, strong relationship-building skills and a firm commitment to ethical practice. Utilitrack franchisees benefit from a comprehensive support structure that includes access to a panel of over 30 suppliers, detailed Market Comparison Report systems and full training with no previous industry experience required. The brand’s transparent commission model means franchisees can always recommend what’s best for the client. “Regardless of which supplier the client chooses, the commission is exactly the same – even if they remain with their existing supplier,” explains Enzo. “It allows us to put the client’s needs above our own business interests.” The franchise now extends beyond traditional brokering. Partners can offer solar power and battery storage solutions on a ‘pay as you use’ basis backed by venture capital funding. This enables clients to cut electricity bills by 30-40% without upfront investment, creating new revenue opportunities for franchisees while helping businesses meet sustainability goals. Throughout its growth, Utilitrack has demonstrated agility in a rapidly changing energy market. During the 2021 energy crisis, when several suppliers collapsed, the brand worked closely with affected clients to minimise disruption and protect them from further volatility.When clients needed affordable ways to adopt solar power, Utilitrack responded with a model that removed cost barriers entirely. Today, the franchise operates nationwide with client retention exceeding 90% – a reflection of the trust built through consistent, relationship-led service. Franchisees often work with clients over many years, delivering long-term savings and creating reliable recurring income. High-profile success stories, such as York Minster’s projected £330,000 saving over three years, demonstrate the scale of opportunity available. “With almost every commercial premises in the UK requiring heating, lighting, cooling and water, the potential demand for Utilitrack’s services is enormous,” says Enzo. “For a company that ensures its clients can turn on their lights in the morning, we have a very bright future.” B 2 B S E R V I C E S B U I L D O N T R U S T Utilitrack Utilitrack Utilitrack provides commercial energy brokering and innovative renewable energy solutions that help organisations reduce costs, improve efficiency and plan confidently in a complex market.
