Utilising popular strategic and business analysis techniques, this document presents a comprehensive study of HBOS Plc, one of the leading providers of banking and financial services in the UK and overseas. Firstly, the PESTLE framework is used to examine the external business environment and its impact on the company. The current nature of the financial services industry is then investigated with the aid of Porter's five forces analysis. Finally a SWOT analysis builds on these findings to provide an overview of the company's strengths and weaknesses relative to internal and external factors. The resulting opportunities and threats facing the company are identified as the focus for future strategic planning.
