Hi Yuri!
They both mean similar things, however I feel the second sentence is quite awkward and I haven't heard anyone use it.
If you wanted to say 2. correctly, you would say 'It's time to get working!'
In this instance, the difference is that 'Let's get down to business' can mean, 'let's start working,' or it can mean 'let's get down to the serious point of the conversation.'
'It's time to get working!' means only that.
