Look After My Bills

Look After My Bills tackled a persistent consumer pain point: most UK households overpaid for energy because they never switched suppliers. ​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌Customers experienced bill fatigue—the mental burden of researching tariffs, comparing providers, and managing the switching process kept them trapped on expensive default rates. Small businesses and elderly households felt this most acutely, lacking time or technical confidence to navigate the market. The problem was measurable: Ofgem data showed over 70% of customers remained on standard variable rates despite cheaper alternatives existing. Manual switching required multiple steps across different websites, creating friction that most people avoided. Existing alternatives were limited. Price comparison sites like MoneySuperMarket required active user engagement. Energy suppliers offered no proactive help. Some brokers existed but charged fees or lacked automation. Early validation came through rapid customer acquisition and retention metrics. Users immediately grasped the value proposition—automatic switching without effort. High engagement rates and positive word-of-mouth demonstrated strong product-market fit, proving customers genuinely wanted this problem solved.
