Why do 90% of elevator companies fail within 5 years?

Most elevator companies fail due to operational causes, not market problems: AMC contracts lapse without renewal (revenue gap), cash flow suffers from slow invoicing after job completion, technician productivity is too low relative to labor cost (poor scheduling), and key client relationships are lost when an employee departs with client data. These are all preventable with business automation which most failing companies never implement until it's too late.

What is the most common financial mistake elevator businesses make in their first five years?

The most common financial mistake is treating AMC revenue as stable without actively managing renewals. Elevator companies in their first five years frequently allow contracts to lapse either because no one is tracking expiry dates, or because renewal conversations start too late to prevent the client from evaluating alternatives. ElevatorPlus's automated renewal workflow is the single most impactful intervention for preserving early-stage elevator business revenue.
