The aim of this paper is also to find out how the liquity of companies affects the debt equity ratio, return on equity and share of fixed assets to total assets. The existence of relationship between selected financial factors and liquidity of companies is tested by correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results show that there is a negative impact of share of fixed assets to total assets on liquidity of companies in service sector in the Czech Republic. The liquidity of companies was positively influenced by the return on equity and negatively influenced by debt equity ratio in energy sector in the Czech Republic. On the other hand, it was found that liquidity of companies negatively affects debt equity ratio in energy sector in the Czech Republic. There was also found that liquidity of companies negatively affects the share of fixed assets to total assets.
