It is the degree to which, an asset can be quickly and cheaply turned into money, which by definition, is completely liquid.
A current account bank deposit is a liquid asset because it can be withdrawn immediately at little cost.
An office building by contrast will take a considerable time to dispose of and estate agent’s fees and other costs will be incurred
A company or individual is said to be liquid if a high proportion of its or his assets are held in the form of cash or readily marketable securities.
