I just started my business and had my first customer ask for a w-9. The work was for $1,200.
Is this normal? How do I get/ send the W9? What does this mean for me?

Yes, this is normal. They need the info to comply with their reporting requirements.
You might get a 1099 form from them after years end. You are already reporting the income on your taxes anyway, so it’s not a big deal.
