History

CBP Resources, LLC was established in October 2020 to serve as a bridge and resource for organizations who find themselves operating with very limited resources. The owner has over 35 years of financial and administrative experience. Over the past two years the owner has worked for a private school and has been afforded the opportunity to work closely with the Indiana Department of Education relative to the Choice Scholarship Program. The Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted the way that many businesses operate. This includes the private school sector and new and existing businesses.
