A LIR does not have to be an ISP, and vice-versa. It just happens most companies are both for the ease of administration. A LIR is nothing more than an administration office and has to act according to RIPE policies when assigning address space to their customers and keep the RIPE whois database up-to-date. As small ISP you can contact any LIR for registry services and receive parts of their PA space if they agree. https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/
