• {{specific_requirements}}: any known obligations or internal policies to incorporate.

Instructions

2. Research and list the key regulations that apply to the given business type and areas.
3. Create a comprehensive checklist organized by regulatory area, with each item being a clear, actionable compliance task.
4. For each item, include a brief explanation of why it matters and any relevant deadlines or frequency (e.g., annual review).
5. Prioritize items by risk level (high, medium, low) and indicate which are mandatory vs. best practice.

Output format A structured checklist with sections per regulatory area, using bullet points and bold headers. Include a risk priority column and a short summary of key takeaways. Aim for 300–500 words.

• Flag any assumptions about the business's size or jurisdiction.
• Stay within the requested regulatory areas; do not expand scope without asking.
