The simple answer is no, you cannot get a visa other than the normal social visit pass with an extension maybe once. You can, however, get a new social visit pass every time you come into Singapore until Immigration gets wise to your staying here as a base. I know this for a fact because in the old days when I was still working in the oil fields, I lived here for 11 years on a tourist visa. I was gone for two months and home for one month (the length of a social visit pass). Today you would never get away with it and after about the 3rd trip immigration would warn you that it would be your last, or they would give you 3 days. Long enough to gather your stuff and get out.
The other way, is to try the entrepass route. Do a search for one of our regulars who goes by the nick of ukdesigner. He is/was in a similar line with existing clients in the UK. I believe he came here on the entrepass method as a sole proprietorship as well. It's the only way to do it without getting yourself in a possible jam.
