With the appropriate imports: 
# get first of next month:
my @first_of_next_month = Add_Delta_YM((Today)[0,1], 1, 0, 1);
# get day of week
my $dow = Day_of_Week(@first_of_next_month);
# if it's 1..5, then use it, else move forward:
my @first_weekday_of_next_month = Add_Delta_Days(@first_of_next_month,
+ $dow == 7 ? 1 : $dow == 6 ? 2 : 0);

update: yes, this finds the first weekday of the next month; however, without further input, I decided that was what was meant by "first business day". Holidays will throw this off.
