Compare & Connect, founded in 2012 by Neil Saligrama, operates as a prominent Australian utility connection and comparison service. Saligrama, who also holds the position of CEO, established the company after recognizing a gap in the market for a streamlined and cost-free service to help people manage their utilities when moving home. His background includes experience in the energy and moving industries, which directly informed the development of the company's service offerings.
The core business revolves around providing a free, centralized platform for customers to compare and connect various utility services, including electricity, gas, internet, and water. The company primarily serves individuals and families who are in the process of moving, offering them a convenient way to arrange multiple services through a single point of contact. Its business model is based on receiving commissions from the utility retailers for each new customer that signs up through their platform. This allows the service to remain entirely free for the end-user. The company has established partnerships with a wide array of service providers across Australia, enabling it to offer a comprehensive range of options to its clientele.
The service simplifies the often complex and time-consuming task of setting up essential services for a new residence. Customers can use the platform to compare prices and plans from different providers and then have Compare & Connect manage the entire sign-up and connection process on their behalf. A significant milestone for the company was its expansion and the establishment of a robust network of partners, solidifying its position within the Australian utility comparison market. The firm has successfully helped thousands of Australians by simplifying their moving process and potentially saving them money on their utility bills.
