About this Prospectus

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), utilizing a “shelf” registration process. By using this shelf registration process, we may, at any time and from time to time, sell our debt securities in one or more offerings.

This prospectus only provides a general description of the debt securities that we may offer. Each time we sell debt securities under the
shelf registration, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus containing specific information about the terms of the securities, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities offered. The prospectus supplement may also
add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

Before purchasing any securities, you should read carefully both this
prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

In this prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise implies, references to “dollars” and “$” are to
U.S. dollars. Unless we indicate otherwise or unless the context implies otherwise, all references in this prospectus to “we,” “us” or “our” are references to either Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (“Berkshire”) or
Berkshire Hathaway Finance Corporation (“BHFC”) or both.
