Business incubator offers a range of business support services and resources. This study examines the effect of business incubators (strategic incubation services and support incubation services) on success of incubated firms. The methodology used consists in application of a questionnaire, where the managers of 31 incubated firms in four business incubators in Jordan (King Hussein Business Park Incubator, Amman Arab University Incubator, Philadelphia University Incubator and Yarmouk University Incubator) responded. The study indicates that there is a statistical effect of strategic incubation services on success of incubated firms. While there is no statistical effect of support incubation services on success of incubated firms. The study recommends that managers of researched business incubators in Jordan should pay more attention to sustain strategic incubation services in their business incubators in order to contribute in promoting success of incubated firms.
