SSN # in Commission Agreement

[TJ Park]

Hi,

I'm in a somewhat interesting position in which I have agreed to a share of the finder's fee / commission agreement, which requires a signature and a social security. I'm uncomfortable giving out my SSN and wanted to know if BP had any advice on the best way to proceed. Currently, the only workaround that I can think of is to form an LLC entity and use its EIN instead.

Any advice is welcome - thanks in advance.

You can apply for an receive a "sole proprietor" EIN. No LLC required.
