Business creation is seen as a fundamental strategic act in the sense that it is a tool for economic and social development. It enables the regeneration of the local productive fabric, creates jobs, enhances knowledge, transfers technology, develops creativity, innovation and contributes to wealth creation. The entrepreneur is at the origin of all strategic decisions, but is also the product of the environment to which he belongs. The quality of the territory is a parameter not to be neglected in the sense that it is more considered as a partner of the entrepreneurial act and as a basic resource for the entrepreneur. This article aims to understand the territorial factors determining the dynamics of business creation in the locality of Bejaia (Algeria), to identify characteristic features that will enable us to identify the typical profile of the entrepreneur from this region at the same time as the logic of perception of the territory of entrepreneurs. To do this, we will first present a review of the literature in order to draw a conceptual framework related to the subject of the study, then we will present the results of a field survey conducted with a sample of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the locality of Bejaia (Algeria) complemented by a series of semi-structured interviews with the entrepreneurs interviewed.
