Can anyone point me in the direction of info about the differences between setting up a professional company vs an Amateur one.

Am I naive in assuming the major difference is that some people might get paid ?

Well they shouldn't.

It's like people who play for their local cricket club on a Saturday afternoon and go around telling everyone they're a professional cricketer.
