Initiation of a small business is stipulated to creativity and resource management. Begin with reducing overhead expenses, working lean; and, negotiating good terms with suppliers. Establish affordable initial pricing and discounts to spark the word of mouth. Use digital marketing and cheap tools to attain the largest reach possible on a budget limit. Revenue sharing partnerships should be considered, along with cash flow meticulously managed. Self-funding growth requires thrift and innovation.
