Why new cleaning, landscaping and home service businesses need commercial coverage
The work happens on customers' property, so damage and injury claims are the main exposure. Crews travel between jobs in work vehicles and carry equipment that needs coverage away from the shop.
Likely first lines in Pennsylvania
- Workers' comp: Pennsylvania requires workers' comp for any employer with at least one employee, including part-time and family members, unless every worker falls in a listed exclusion (for example LLCs whose only workers are members). Source
- GL: Work happens on customers' property, so damage and injury claims are the main exposure.
- Commercial auto: Crews usually travel between jobs in work vehicles.
- Inland marine: Mowers, trailers and equipment that travel to job sites.

How they score
Distribution of our 1–100 commercial insurance need score for these 205 businesses. How the score works.
- 1 (0.5%) matched a new USDOT registration from FMCSA, a strong sign the business is about to operate vehicles commercially.
- Hot and Super hot flags apply only to the six highest-urgency industries (construction, trucking, restaurants, healthcare, auto services, security and staffing), so this industry shows none by design. Use the 70+ score to prioritize.
