You can create a separate image class with foreign key as Ads as below and call the images in your templates as object.image_set.all(), so that you can add any amount of images which inherit from your Ads model

class Ads(models.Model):
    business_id = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)

class Image(models.Model):
    ads = models.ForeignKey(Ads, ....)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images', blank=True, null=True)
