Liquidity is all about cash and ‘assets near to cash’ (cash equivalents). Asset is considered liquid in the state of cash. If a company is considered liquid, it actually means that its current assets / investments are readily and easily convertible into cash. Non-liquid assets / investments are those which are obligated or held for a certain amount of time and cannot be readily encashed.
Solvency refers to the financial soundness of an entity in its ability to repay its debts and financial obligations as and when they mature. If an entity is able to pay off all its debts when they come due, then it is believed to be solvent. If an entity is incapable of paying back its debts then it is considered as insolvent or bankrupt.
