I agree that there's no guarantee if you put your name on line 1. To the payer, they're doing business with you, not with an LLC. You can have separate businesses - both a SMLLC and working under your own name. I think that people who form a SMLLC but continue to use an old sole proprietor EIN might as well not have an LLC.
