Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite (not necessarily abelian) group and let $p=p(G)$ be the smallest prime number dividing $|G|$. We prove that $d(G)leqfrac|G|p+9p^2-10p$, where $d(G)$ denotes the small Davenport constant of $G$ which is defined as the maximal integer $ell$ such that there is a sequence over $G$ of length $ell$ contains no nonempty one-product subsequence.
