  In this paper we study the large N limit of the Standard Model Higgs sector
with $N\lambda$, $Ng^2$ and $Ng'^2$ constant and $N$ being the number of
would-be Goldstone bosons. Despite the simplicity of this method at leading
order, its results satisfy simultaneously important requirements such as
unitarity and the low-energy theorems in contrast with other more conventional
approaches. Moreover, it is fully compatible with the Equivalence Theorem and
it yields a consistent description of the Higgs boson mass and width. Finally
we have also included a phenomenological discussion concerning the applications
of this method to the LHC.
