The article aims to identify and quantify significant economic factors that determine the quality of the business environment in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport and services segment. The case study was carried out on a sample of 258 companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Statistical methods, such as regression analysis and correlation analysis, were used to evaluate empirical data. These statistical methods test and verify several statistical hypotheses formulated. The results of the case study brought interesting findings. Findings showed the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the quality of the business environment. Conversely, monetary policy and interest rates, corporate finance, and population’s consumption do not affect the quality of the business environment in the transport and services segment. The results also represent an essential basis for organizations supporting the business environment or for state institutions in the creation of materials for improving services or transport in the selected countries.

Artykuł ma na celu identyfikację i kwantyfikację istotnych czynników ekonomicznych, które determinują jakość otoczenia biznesowego w małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach (MŚP) w segmencie transportu i usług. Studium przypadku zostało przeprowadzone na próbie 258 firm w Czechach i na Słowacji. Do oceny danych empirycznych zastosowano metody statystyczne, takie jak analiza regresji i analiza korelacji. Te metody statystyczne testują i weryfikują kilka sformułowanych hipotez statystycznych. Wyniki studium przypadku przyniosły interesujące ustalenia. Wyniki pokazały wpływ otoczenia makroekonomicznego na jakość otoczenia biznesowego. I odwrotnie, polityka pieniężna i stopy procentowe, finanse przedsiębiorstw i konsumpcja ludności nie wpływają na jakość otoczenia biznesowego w segmencie transportu i usług. Wyniki stanowią również istotną podstawę dla organizacji wspierających otoczenie biznesu lub dla instytucji państwowych w tworzeniu materiałów do doskonalenia usług lub transportu w wybranych krajach.
