Essence Protection is the specialty division of Ashlin Hadden Insurance created exclusively for the U.S. adult industry. The company develops insurance solutions tailored to the unique risks these businesses face. Rather than placing adult businesses into standard commercial policies, the team works with insurance carriers that understand the industry’s products, operations, and regulatory requirements.

The company offers a complete range of commercial insurance solutions. In addition to arranging coverage, the team works to educate business owners, identify potential coverage gaps, and provide protection that supports long-term growth. Essence Protection is committed to offering experienced guidance, specialized coverage, and industry-specific knowledge without judgment.
