Isn't only them, this crap goes on with many businesses, one glaring example is these "office supplies" catalogs that come in the mail (if you are a business) where the prices are frequently more than at the local retail office supply shops
One of the biggest rorts there was selling cleaning products, biscuits, coffee, soft drinks for substantially more than you would pay for the identical items at woolies, coles etc.

That occurs widely. 'Business' is assumed to be able to pay more. I suspect that in the background, items such as insurance are charged more heavily if a business account is involved.
