To get only the first two words you can split() the string in to an array by spaces and then use slice() to get the first two elements of the resulting array. Then you can join it back together before displaying in the input.

Also note I added trim() and a regex to replace multiple whitespace with a single one, otherwise it would affect how split() builds the array and could end up missing words.

jQuery($ => {
  $("#business_name").on('input', e => {
    var text = $(e.target).val().trim().replace(/\s+/, ' ').toLowerCase().split(' ').slice(0, 2).join('');
    $("#business_url").val(text);
  });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="business_name" name="business_name" placeholder="Business Name" /><br /><br />
<input type="text" id="business_url" name="business_url" placeholder="Business URL" />

After replacing certain characters with ' ' count the number of ' ' in the string. If the count is 2 stop replacing or you can return from the function.

Look at the modified code below:

$(document).ready(function() {
   var count = 0;
   $("#business_name").keyup(function() {
      var Text = $(this).val();
      Text = Text.toLowerCase();
      Text = Text.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/g,' ');
      count = (Text.split("-")).length - 1;
      if (count == 2) {
          return;
      }
      $("#business_url").val(Text);        
    });
});
