Learn how Upwork Enterprise works for freelancers, including service fees, benefits of Enterprise clients, and what happens if an existing client upgrades.
What is an Enterprise client on Upwork?
Upwork Enterprise helps larger companies find, contract, and pay independent freelance talent like yourself. Our Enterprise clients range from fast-growing startups to global Fortune 500 companies and tend to have large teams of experienced hiring managers and hundreds of active projects.
Working with these clients can provide you with access to higher-quality opportunities and a steadier stream of work. This means less time spent searching and more time spent working.
What is the Freelancer Service Fee on Enterprise contracts?
If you're working with an Enterprise client, your service fee might look a little different from your contracts with non-Enterprise clients. Your exact rate depends on the specific terms of the client's Enterprise agreement. If you’re unsure what applies to your contract, your Enterprise point of contact is the best person to check with—they’ll have the details you need.
What happens if an existing client of mine joins Upwork Enterprise?
If you have an active contract with a client and they upgrade to Upwork Enterprise membership, your contract will be ended and a new Enterprise contract will be set up — all automatically. We’ll send you an email with details of the change and instructions on what to do next, and you’ll be able to continue working on your current contract until the new one has started.
