"All for One" © Metro Finance is a specialty boutique lending arm of Metroplexx and Humanus Trust and Foundation designed to provide low cost financing for small to large businesses.

Humanus Corporation

Based on a friendly and uncomplicated approach to business needs, Metro Finance structures loans at simple interest, and entertains capital infusion on an equity basis. Loans may be amortized over a one year to a 99 year model depending on the requirements and repayment ability of the business petitioning for a loan. High risk loans are considered, and may require an equity position for safety considerations.

Each application is considered on its merits, beginning with management. Strong management in a high risk application carries more weight than the business itself, as Metro Finance recognizes that any business with strong leadership stands a higher chance of success than "garage band" applications. All applications are considered. Charity - Official Julian Lennon Website.

He learned that Lucy had been fighting lupus since 2005 and vowed to help in any way he could. Julian had fond memories of playing with his kindergarten classmate and it was a shock when he learned of Lucy’s death on 22 September 2009 from an infection. Since then, Julian has been supporting lupus through his music and photography, collaborating with singer-songwriter James Scott Cook on a track called Lucy, the proceeds of which have gone to aid research into the disease. Lupus is now recognised as an important and common illness of modern times. It is a disease in which the immune system goes 'wrong', becomes overactive. It can affect any organ of the body.
