  1. Starting out, the consensus seems to be that it is more difficult for agencies than freelancers. I recommend you get (and complete successfully) some jobs as a freelancer before you start applying to jobs as an agency.
  2. Tax effect for income will be the exact same as a freelancer. Payment to your agents takes place off-platform (Upwork does not facilitate). All taxes that you pay on your employees/agents payroll are the same as a non-Upwork business.
