The standard route for travelling for business in Singapore

Covered by your tourist entry

None beyond the entry visa (if any) used for social visits

Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority determines whether an entry visa is needed by nationality alone, not by purpose, so a passport that is visa-free for social visits is visa-free for business visits too. Where an entry visa is required, the same application covers both business and social visits, typically supported by a local contact or a letter of invitation.
