How does trademark protection work globally?

Question

We are establishing a startup and I would like to know how to register our company logo as a trademark to not allow any company to use our logo anywhere, anytime? How do we do that?

The idea would be that we 1) have a clear idea of how much our trademark protection would cost each year, and 2) would not have to worry about somebody using our trademark in any country.

I recommend to register it in the countries where you have the biggest commercial interests. If you are ever planning to sell or produce products in China I strongly recommend you file it there as soon as possible given several reasons.
In most countries trademark protection time is of 10 years.
We are international trademark protection company that has an easy to use system - which automatically will remind you of any upcoming deadline such as renewing trademarks after the 10 years are complete) . If you send me a list of the main countries where you are interested we can prepare a quotation and schedule a phone call to answer any questions you may have - of course no strings attached.
