I have a business account with my ISP, however they are not willing to set up BGP unless I use his IPs. How can I use my Subnet /24 anyway without my ISPs involvement? Is it even possible?

I have a Static IP, Mikrotik, I would really appreciate a solution if possible?

2 possibilities, first, use an external host with which you can setup BGP routes and tunnel it through to your own system. Second, find yourself a different ISP which is not so intransigent. The benefit of the first, is that if it comes under a DDOS, then you can switch the tunnel off, protect you & your isp, and still have your BGP session active

If one ISP is not willing to announce your prefixes, then find another ISP that will agree to do that. (Or find the right person at the ISP to talk to; if you can afford a whole /24 then you probably can find a business contact.)

But if your direct ISP won't do BGP, it's not entirely uncommon to find a remote ISP which does – that is, announce the prefix at a nearby IX or datacenter, then tunnel everything to your location using GRE (or similar). Sometimes this involves setting up your own router at that remote location, sometimes you can run BGP directly from your location across the tunnel. (You will still access it through your local ISP, of course, but it doesn't need to offer anything special besides a static IP.)

It shouldn't be hard to find a commercial provider (carrier) who offers this service in Germany.
