The Indonesian D12 visa is a multiple-entry pre-investment visa allowing for extended stays of up to 180 days, renewable for another 180 days. This visa can be used to investigate business prospects without formally incorporating a business. However, conversion to a Limited Stay Permit is not permitted.
With a single-entry business visa, you can stay in Indonesia for up to 180 days; the initial 60 day stay is extendable twice. This visa is valid for a maximum of 1 year.

No. Indonesian multiple-entry visas are not convertible to other residency permits. You must submit a separate application for a longer duration permit.
This is a serious issue. A Single Entry Business Visa is for business activities like attending meetings, conferences, and negotiations.
It does not permit you to work or generate income in Indonesia.
Extensions are typically unavailable for Multiple Entry Pre-Investment Visas. This visa permits a stay of a maximum of 12 months, commencing with an initial 60-day period. Following the expiration of the initial visa, holders are required to depart Indonesia and re-enter to extend their stay. This process may be repeated twice, permitting a total stay of 180 days.
