However, Operator and/or Insurance requirements may be different. If I was running a BBJ Operation, the budget for the flight department would allow the SIC to go thru formal training.

You would be surprised how cheap some operators are getting.
I am not familiar with the 737 at all, however I would assume that a BBJ is configured for 20 seats or more or has 6000lbs payload or more and this is not for a cargo or non passenger repositioning flight.
Based on that assumption you need to look at part 125 subpart I. Particularly 125.285 and 125.287.
Most BBJs are setup with 19 or less so that they may operate under part 91.
