London-based entrepreneur, Charles Reay-Smith, has announced his search for further UK business acquisitions, a year after purchasing the ecommerce brand AlloyArmor.
In July 2025, Reay-Smith acquired AlloyArmor, a brand known for its designer protective cases for iPhone and AirPods, through its online store, alloyarmor.store. The brand offers a wide range of products, including the popular Invisa Case, Hercules Case, and The Serpent. The details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Following the success of AlloyArmor, Reay-Smith is now exploring opportunities in ecommerce, services, and light industrial businesses in the United Kingdom. He is specifically interested in profitable, owner-operated companies where the founder is looking to step back.
“AlloyArmor taught me the realities of owning a business in its first year, which involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work,” said Reay-Smith. “However, this experience has given me the confidence to take on my next venture. I am more interested in acquiring an established business and fixing the areas that have been neglected, rather than starting from scratch.”
Aside from his role as an entrepreneur, Reay-Smith is also the founder and manager of Reay Smith Property, a specialist HMO management business in south and west London. He plans to build a portfolio of small UK businesses that he will hold for the long term, rather than selling them quickly for a profit.
“I am particularly interested in businesses whose owners are looking to retire and do not have a successor in mind,” added Reay-Smith. “My goal is not to turn these businesses around or strip them back, but to maintain their success and continue their growth.”
