Cutting costs is often the most important thing we can do in times of economic distress. The toppling financial markets and failing housing markets have left even the most stalwart of small business owners wondering if and when the markets will begin to affect their bottom lines. For some of us, it already has.

But it doesn't have to be that way. If you begin streamlining your business now, focusing on cutting capital costs rather than employees and services, you can start to really improve your business for the long haul. Hiring and Firing is expensive - if you cut employees today, you will have to search for, hire, and train them in the future. Adding and Removing services is expensive - it means stocking up, advertising, and retraining of employees. But capital costs can be cut at nearly any time, often with little to no additional effort.

One of my favorite methods is printing postage online. I know it seems a little strange, but most businesses spend a pretty penny or two on postage. Whether it is sending off bills, contracts, invoices, payroll, packages or more, purchasing stamps at the traditional pricing - and also traveling to the post office to pick them up - is costly and inefficient.

Luckily, with the internet, it is very easy to print postage online. There are many vendors available, although the most popular print postage online vendor is probably Stamps.com. These providers will give you a scale, and often even give you some sort of trial-credit to get started and get used to the process. Over the course of the year, you could save hundreds in postage and even more in time wasted.

This is just one of the many methods you can use to cut expenses. Do you have any ideas?
