New LLC, Do I need to get a W-9 for contractors?

[Kelly Ingalise]

Hi All,

I am a new investor... We just started an LLC and bought our first property under the LLC's name. We are hiring some contractors (roofing company, mason) that will cost more that $600 for repairs. Do I need to get a W-9 for each of these contractors? The rules are confusing me for whether this is only needed for hiring an individual independent contractor or if it's needed for hiring another business as well.

Thanks for any advice!
