Yes.

Your customers are going to be large companies. They are not going to pay an individual for conducting business transactions. In fact, they will probably need a W-9 [1] from you.

Also, don't forget the liability that you will have if you are not incorporated.

Sure they will. And a filled out W-9 looks pretty much exactly the same for an individual and a single-member LLC. In both cases, it's the individual's social security number on the form, not an EIN even if the LLC has one.
