Kentucky has no specific rules on sole proprietorships.
Assuming the individual is using an assumed name:
"John Buford, DBA Mega Mechanical;" the name of the individual should be first in the account title to facilitate IRS name/TIN matching.
The correct TIN for the account is John's SSN.
Please do not post the same question in more than one forum.
