Abstract
Capital mobilization is vital to attain necessary funds for investors to initiate and maintain business,
and access to capital is quite instrumental. In this context, debt financing represents the most critical
form of finance. However, the traditional modes of debt financing recognized in Ethiopia are not
without their problems, hence ineffective. Therefore, the paper tries to look into the status of the
country's recognition of the importance of new, emerging alternative debt financing sources in
providing more innovative and diversified methods of accessing debt capital. This paper tries to
provide insights into the recognition of new, emerging alternative debt financing in Ethiopia by
analyzing inefficiency and incompleteness of the already recognized traditional debt financing
sources. This would, in particular, analyze the legal constraints that come into play in the context of
recognition regarding these innovative sources of finance in the Ethiopian landscape.
