What's the small business you have in mind to start? It's the only way one can be able to give you advice on what's best to do. There are so many small businesses to just give a random advice.

When starting any new business you have to look at your ideas for a business and then look at other businesses that are the same niche and offer the same projects as your business to get an idea of what you could do differently to help your business succeed.
Always remember that with any new business, you will not grow over night and it could take a while so never go into creating a new business wit the mindset that you will become rich and successful quickly.

You should try as much as possible to cut out making unnecessary expenses from your new business. If it's possible not to spend from the business at least in the first 6 months or 1 year that you started the business, you should do it. It's going to help the business to grow and stabilise more quickly.

If your small business makes use of raw materials in production, work out a plan to visit rural areas and get it from the source where they produce the raw materials. It will help and cut cost. This helps to reduce the expenses you pay in running your business which helps to sustain the business.
