It must be a physical location in the same country where your company is registered and can be a residential or non-residential address.

In the recent Becoming a better director webinar series, Stephanie Kirkwood from the Business Support Helpline explained:
If you’re going to use your home address, then there are some things to consider. Firstly, certain permissions may be required. Whether you rent or have a mortgage in place, there’s a contract between yourself and another party regarding the use of your home address. If in this contract there’s a clause that restricts or prohibits the property from being used for business purposes, then you would need to resolve this issue before moving ahead with your business from your home.
This may mean that you cannot register your business at your home address, and it could also mean that you cannot undertake any business activities such as marketing, book-keeping, storage or preparation to name a few, within your property.
