Ours was. We just wanted broadband at the time (we have a 73,000' line to the nearest CO and dialup got us 26 Kbps on a good day). When I first learned of the last mile problem, I realized that conventional wired broadband would probably not happen here in my lifetime. The original goal was to get enough neighbors signed up so that it would not cost an arm and a leg. I really just wanted enough subscribers to cover the cost. I figured 2 or 3 dozen neighbors would do it. Then it became something like selling heroin, and the rest is history.

We did not pay ourselves for the first 2 or 3 years of our S-corp. However, our accountant advised us to pay ourselves a token salary to avoid troublesome revenuers.

I am a minority shareholder. 
My wife is the majority shareholder.  But you still don’t have to pay shareholders anything. 
If they are on the board of directors they can earn a directors fee.

I thought it was bad to have a business and not pay the owners "a reasonable salary".

dunno...  Why pay FICA for myself when I don’t need to?   I can take a repayment on notes payable if I want money without any tax implication.  Or I can take a directors fee without FICA if I want to take money.  But what in the hell am I going to do with a bunch of money in my checking account?  I can buy more TSLA I guess.  I would rather have a Mincon pneumatic hammer drill setup for my directional drills. 
 
Resisting the urge to buy a Tesla or an airplane.  I do miss the C-210 with known ice capability.  But an ultralight would be more fun. 
Could do a sailboat but I would probably never use it.   I used to sail on the Great Salt Lake. 
 
I am just fortunate to be semi-retired and not really wanting for anything. 
Other than visits from kids and grandkids. 
 
In other words “I have sufficient for my needs”.
Maybe a water jet or a CNC laser...

It's my understanding that in 8 weeks all you have to do is prove you did payroll for 75% of the amount loaned.  In your case, show 90k came out of the account to payroll.  The reports that the payroll company does, I'm told, should suffice.

Lewis,
Are you taking any special measures to be able to prove you used the loan proceeds for approved uses?
Kinda hard when they get comingled with other funds in a general checking account. 
I think we put them in a separate savings account.

$10k? How many people do you have? I think I got nearly $500k between all the companies.
