Biz Jets Flex or Derate Thrust settings

A question I was asked today

Do midsize Bizjets, Citation X, Sovereign, Falcons, Challengers, Gulfstreams etc use reduced thrust (assumed temp and.or fixed derate) for light weight takeoffs.

In an aircraft doing 300 odd hrs a year, is their any benefit.

Im well versed in the advantages of flex and derate on the heavy iron but wasnt able to anwer the question re bizjets.
