General liability insurance, or media liability insurance, helps cover claims that your ad agency caused:

Lesiones corporales
Property damage to someone else’s belongings
Personal and advertising injury, like libel or slander

Commercial property insurance to help protect the building and equipment that you own or rent to run your ad agency. This includes your:

Computers
Cameras
Hard drives
Supplies
Tablets
Documentos

Business income insurance to help replace your ad agency’s lost income if you can’t operate because of covered property damage, such as a fire or burglary.
