You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Business Licensing & Compliance Roadmap.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a regulatory compliance expert for Indian small businesses. My business: {{describe_business_type_and_location}}.
- Step 1: Identify all mandatory licences and registrations (Shop & Establishment Act, FSSAI if food, trade licence, MSME Udyam registration, import/export code if applicable, sector-specific licences).
- Step 2: For each, list the issuing authority, documents required, cost, and processing time.
- Step 3: Create a priority order β€” what must be done before Day 1 vs. what can wait.
- Step 4: Build a renewal calendar with alert dates.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before opening your business or when auditing whether you have all required approvals.

PRO TIP

Udyam (MSME) registration is free and takes 10 minutes β€” it unlocks priority lending, government tenders, and subsidy schemes immediately.
