Do they have IP address space from an upstream already?  Then they can 
ask that upstream for permission to multi-home that IP space, and set up 
BGP appropriately.  I did this at a Web hosting company a few years 
back, and it worked just fine.  (Eventually my company got its own 
address space from ARIN and renumbered.)
