Thanks, dbus-send works (in my case it is a session based service)
dbus-send --session --print-reply
--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus
org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:org.foo.Bar uint32:0

Not so elegant though doing it from an application. But it inspired me
to design a "Ping function" which any client should call very early in
their own startup sequence to give my service time to populate in the
background.

Thanks for your reply.
