There is no such thing as an 'adult company' and anyone who operates under the premise that they are an adult company is doing themselves a serious disservice. If you produce content and some of it happens to be NSFW... that doesn't make you an 'adult company' any more than it makes Time Warner an adult company for broadcasting explicit cathouse documentaries on HBO late at night.

The internet is all fun and games until it is used against you. You can change the name of your company, but as long as YOUR name is the same, they will tie you in. Starting a new company will not fix your history. After looking into this further, I came across a case that was not even "adult" in nature. A 30 year old man who owned a landscaping business had his insurance cancelled due to an insurance company's internet history search.
That's a different matter entirely. That's a case of poor reputation management. If you are intelligent about the way you present your brands there does not need to be any correlation between your adult and mainstream products or services. Your name doesn't need to appear anywhere online or offline alongside NSFW materials.

If you have already made the mistake of associating your name or company name with NSFW content there are things that can be done to help solve that problem. I do a fair amount of that work for clients and have had success disconnecting their NSFW brands from their personal name or corporate branding.

The modern age allows people to sculpt their reputation in artful ways when done properly and persistently. There is no reason to 'raise your hand' when someone asks if you work in porn, and if you manage your reputation properly nobody would even have reason to ask you that question in the first place.

Contact me if you want to discuss your individual situation...
