JSA and Self Employment

Hi,
I had a quick search of the forums but couldnt find an answer to this question:

Ive been on JSA for the last 4 weeks but have now decided that I am going to start my own Private Limited Company and do some IT Contracting work.

Does anyone know at what stage I have to notify the JobCentre to come off JSA? I.e. is it when the company is setup, when I get my first piece of consulting work etc?

Many thanks!

    It is as soon as you set up the company.
