Can't create an Agency account

Good day!

I don't have ablility to create "New Freelancer Agency Account", only client account. 

Also,I tried to clean cache and cookies, and log in with another browser. Problem is not solved.

In attachment you can find screenshot.

Waiting for feedback.

Thanks in advance.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Oleksandr,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. If you don’t have the option to create an Agency, it’s generally because you already have an Agency that is now closed. Please know that you can only “own” one agency on Upwork. You won’t be able to make another one.

 

However, if you want, we can restore your agency account. How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hi, I'd like some assistance in setting up an agency account on upwork. The option is not available. I do have a client account to hire only. 

thanks 

Hi Daniel,

 

Please know that you can only be the Agency Owner for one Agency. It looks like you already have an Agency on your account, but it's been closed. Would you like us to reopen it for you? You should be able to edit the information to fit your new needs.

Yes, I'd like for it to be opened so I can access the agency account on upwork. There's the additional account, which has no history, I'd like for it to be deleted. 

Hi Daniel,

 

I am pleased to inform you that your agency account has been restored. Please follow the instructions given in this help article for you to close/erase an account. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I only see the option to open a client account, and, not a agency account.5E0AE317-0010-48F8-8795-812342C4BBF3.jpeg

Hi Daniel,

 

I'm sorry for the delayed response. I checked your account and found that you already have an existing agency account. To access your agency profile, kindly click on your photo from the home page and select your agency account.

I deleted the previous one because I have changed the agency's name. I am looking to reopen the agency with the correct name.

Hi Ronald, 

I've asked for the help of the Customer Support Team to reinstate your account. They will reach out to you directly through an email support ticket, which you can access here once it's generated. 

As a gentle reminder, please know that freelancers on Upwork must upload a photo of themselves for their profile photo. It would be best to update your profile photo soon to avoid temporarily putting your account on hold. You may check this article for more information on what type of photo you can upload to your freelancer profile. 

Let me know if you need further help with anything!

Hi Aleksandr,

 

As you can only be the Agency Owner for one Agency, once you've created one, you cannot create another. Please confirm if you'd like us to reopen your Agency for you.

Hi Arjay,

 

Many thanks for your response. If I remember correctly, the old agency account was in name of X-Company  which I been closed on 2019. My current company is Y-Company which has all registration details and I wish to use this name now on.

 

Is it possible to change the name of agency along with bank & GST details? if yes kindly restore the old agency account. If not please provide me suggestions what I shall do now.

 

Warm regards
Arun..

Hi Arun, 

It looks like you already have an open ticket regarding your account concern. As your situation is a bit more complex, it would be best to discuss it through a ticket. I have followed up with the team, and they should get back to you soon with more information to help you further.

I wish to change the name of the agency as I have closed the bank account of same long back, and started a new agency with GST no. as per my CA's suggestion. The new agency is proprietory concern in my name and I will furnish all the documents related to same.
Please let me know if this is possible.
