If you are worried about providing your Social Security number to companies that will be paying you for your work as an independent contractor, the appropriate number to give them on the W-9 is the EIN for your business. They will be paying the business for the work, not you as an individual.
The LLC is a disregarded entity for tax purposes, meaning that it will not have to file a separate tax return. Instead it will be reported within your personal tax return on Schedule C.
You do not need a second EIN for yourself personally. You already have it with the EIN for the LLC.
