Abstract. This study aims to analyze the impact of legal incentives on the performance of startups in Algeria, focusing on the incentives provided for under Investment Law No. 18-22 and Public Procurement Law No. 12-23. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool administered to a sample of 65 respondents. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27, relying on the one-sample Student’s t-test and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the level of evaluation of the incentives provided under the Investment Law was high, with a mean of 3.91. The results also indicated that the incentives provided under the Public Procurement Law received a high level of agreement, with a mean of 3.73. The results of the Student’s t-test confirmed that the arithmetic means were statistically significantly higher than the hypothetical mean of 3. Furthermore, the regression results revealed a positive and statistically significant effect of legal incentives on the performance of startups. The correlation coefficient was R = 0.955, while the adjusted coefficient of determination reached Adjusted R² = 0.893. The study concludes that legal incentives contribute to supporting the growth of startups and improving their performance, while emphasizing the need to enhance the clarity and simplify the procedures to ensure greater benefit from these incentives.
