If someone buys a 152 and wants to hire your newly-certiicated student, no problem. There is no need for a 100 hour inspection on the aircraft; maintenance is the owner's problem.
Your student needs a commercial pilot certificate with category and class ratings (airplane, single engine land), and a second class medical. He must have a current flight review and maintain flight currency (night, landings, etc). Added insurance isn't a legal necessity, though the policy should cover the pilot (pilot shouldn't have to insure himself).
If passengers or cargo are flown for compensation or hire in any way, then the aircraft owner or operator must hold a 135 certificate, and your student must meet 135 minimums and be qualified under that program. In that case, the aircraft will require a maintenance program.
