There are a few rivals YU could stalk or already talking to that would get them well on the way to £500m+ and it doesn’t have to be a cash deal deal could be a paper deal or combination of both.
Bulb 14,000 SMEs no idea on turnover but would release the gov form at least part of the gov obligation.
GOOD Energy, hmm not sure but turnover is around £130m and far to many domestic to work for YU.
SSE they have stopped talking on SMEs and have stated they want out of the Business side, again not sure how big SME client book is but I reckon far to big for YU to absorb.
Smartest business energy - perfect fit turnover around £90m and has been declining over the last couple of years, merger or paper deal would work very well as the combined company would still sit under smartest for hedging.
I could go on but only 5 or 6 around the 100m mark turnover wise like BeS utilities like smartest turnover falling as losing clients to the likes of YU.
Very interesting times indeed and I hope it isn’t just talk from BK because a huge opportunity exists and will do for at least a year to pick up struggling rivals
