If the company is paying the LL, then yes, they have a need for it. There is a (slight) chance that the LL is subject to backup withholding, which the company would be on the hook for. There is also a (very real) possibility that the company is legally required to issue the LL a 1099, which means that the company would need the LL's legal entity type, legal name, and identifying number to either issue the 1099 or determine that one is not needed.
