Question How does a PRIVATE ops f/o upgrade to Captain?

I would like to know what is required, disregarding insurance difficulties.

I have a full UK ATPL. My type rating says NIL restrictions next to it and the CAA says as far as they are concerned I could fly left. However, all my LPCs have been in the right seat. I have over 1000hrs on type and a lot of PIC time in other types.

Now if an employer (private ops only, M registration) wants to upgrade me what is required? I know common sense will say fly with TRI in right seat for 25 sectors or so, but could this be done with just a normal line captain?

If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
