At Zembl, we know small businesses are the backbone of our local communities, and we’re passionate about lending a hand where it’s needed most. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Cafe Expresso is one of the winners of our Small Business $5k Energy Giveaway!
From cutting energy costs to initiatives like our annual Small Business Energy Giveaway, we’re dedicated to helping small Aussie businesses thrive. Thanks to their $5,000 energy credit, Cafe Expresso has gotten rid of their energy bills for a while, and can focus on what they do best - serving fresh coffee and friendly smiles to the East Gosford community.

What is the Zembl Small Business $5k Energy Giveaway?
The Small Business $5k Energy Giveaway is one of Zembl's initiatives designed to support small businesses across Australia by easing financial pressure caused by high energy bills.
Here’s how it works:
- Any small business that switches to a new energy plan through Zembl during the competition period is automatically entered into the draw.
- This time, three lucky winners walked away with $5,000 credit added to their energy account.
The giveaway’s goal is simple - to provide businesses with a meaningful financial break, in combination with long-term savings on their energy bills.
Cafe Expresso’s journey to winning
Cafe Expresso, a cozy café located in East Gosford, NSW, has become a staple for locals thanks to its warm atmosphere, expertly brewed coffee, and delicious bites. But like many small businesses, rising costs, including energy bills, presented ongoing challenges.
Enter Zembl. Francesco, the owner of Cafe Expresso, worked closely with one of our Energy Experts to compare his current plan to offers from our panel of Australia’s leading retailers. We found him a tailored plan that saved $480 per year on the café’s gas bill.
By switching energy plans through Zembl, Cafe Expresso was automatically entered into the $5k Energy Giveaway. When the random draw was conducted, Francesco’s café was one of the lucky winners!
The $5,000 energy credit has given Cafe Expresso a substantial boost, allowing them to focus on what they do best - connecting with the community over excellent coffee.
