Never miss a business deadline again

Tax, VAT, Companies House, insurance renewals, MOT, domain names, licences: deadlines are everywhere. Get them all on one list with reminders well before each one.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me build one list of all my business deadlines.

How I trade: [sole trader or limited company; VAT registered or not]
Year end and VAT quarters: [dates, if any]
Staff: [none, or how many]
Things I renew: [insurance, van MOT and tax, licences, domain, software]

First ask me up to 5 short questions. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A list of every deadline that applies: what, when, how often, penalty risk, and the official page to check the date.
2. How far ahead to be reminded for each.
3. A Google Sheets layout with a days-left formula and a colour warning.
4. A once-a-month 5-minute check routine.

Point me to GOV.UK and Companies House for the official dates. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

For GOV.UK and Companies House filing deadlines, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. sole trader or limited company; VAT registered or not: a short note you already have. dates, if any: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
