Creating an Agency in Upwork

[#1]

Hello everyone! I have a question to ask. When I started Upwork, I got invited to an Agency so I can work in Upwork. At first I was an exclusive freelancer to the Agency and later on the owner turned me into a non-exclusive freelance so I can submit a proposal on my own. I am now having my own job and it came to my mind about creating an agency myself. Is it okay if I will leave my current agency so I can create my own? Of course with a permission of the owner of my current agency.

All I'm asking is that, is it possible? If no, I don't have any problems. I just want to know. Thanks!

Hi Alkein,

Yes you can open your own agency and work as a team if you have team members that you would like to invite to your agency, thank you.

but I am currently in an agency. Can I leave and then create my own agency?
Thank you for your fast response.

Hi Alkein,

Yes you can leave your agency and create your own since your status currently is set as a non-exclusive member. Thank you.
