“…In theory, firms are in a position to achieve success in their business venture because the space provided for them to settle down is complemented with the availability of advisory services at a price below market value. Additionally, incubators favour the economic and social development of the territories in which they are located, especially through the creation of firms related to highly knowledge-intensive productive sectors (Fernández Martínez et al 2011;Canales García and Vergara González 2013;Más-Verdú et al 2011).…”

Public business incubators are services placed at the disposal of original, generally newly-created projects, to which physical accompaniment, supervision, and location are offered at prices below market value. They have as their aim to help set in motion and consolidate these firms during the stages in which they are weaker. The ultimate goal consists in favouring the generation of innovative firms, inducers of high-quality jobs, which can diversify the local business fabric, thus becoming a key tool in local development.The present paper provides a methodology to study the economic -but above all social-impact of business incubators, based on the examination of 40 from the 42 incubators existing in the Valencian Community (a Spanish autonomous region with five million inhabitants). Data analysis allows us to state that, although business incubators are not economically profitable since they need financial aids and public investment to start operating, they do have social profitability, insofar as the activity developed by entrepreneurs permits to provide public administrations -via taxes-with returns exceeding what was invested in these incubators. It has been determined that 2.8 euros (which can be applied to a variety of social areas) are collected via taxes for each euro spent to start them up.

“…Miles (2005) define these services as those with roots in people's knowledge-professional knowledge. Mas-Verdú et al (2011) assert that professional advisory services encompass a wide variety of services that range from advertising to legal services, whereby providers may be consultants, advisors, engineers, or analysts. Bettencourt et al (2002) define businesses that provide these services as those whose main activity is accumulating, creating, and disseminating knowledge to develop a service or product to meet customers' needs.…”

a b s t r a c tEntrepreneurship is a driver of economic growth and development. This study highlights the importance of entrepreneurship in emerging countries and examines entrepreneurs' characteristics in these countries. In particular, the study explains what entrepreneurs should avoid to succeed in Latin America. An empirical study analyzes factors that relate to businesses and entrepreneurs in El Salvador, one of the Latin American countries with the lowest rates of business success. In the study, business factors consist of the use of formal and informal advisory services and the degree of innovation. Variables that relate to the entrepreneur are educational attainment and the demographic variables sex and age. Results from analysis of 2012 GEM data using csQCA methodology show that degree of innovation, professional advisory services, and educational attainment play key roles in business success.
