Methodological analysis evaluates the resulting variables: cash flow, obligations, fixed asset and current assets change, Share capital, their relative indices, but it excludes external influence on these variables. The goal of the research was to evaluate the business environment factors impact to the solvency of businesses. During the evaluation of the business environment only macroeconomics influence on solvency was analyzed, because of the research goal, internal insolvency reasons weren‘t evaluated. We chose these independent variables: GDP value and its change in Lithuania and the European Union, inflation, unemployment rate, tax burden, shadow economy scale, corruption control index , the amount of companies in the sector, the amount of bankrupt companies in the sector and Lithuania, interest rates, cargo turnover change in the country, political stability and government efficiency indicators.

Sample for the research – warehousing and logistics related services businesses divided into groups by their employee quantity.
