Complex projective structures, or PSL( $2, \mathbb{C})$-opers, play a central role in the theory of uniformization of Riemann surfaces. A very natural generalization of this notion is to consider complex projective structures with ramification points. This gives rise to the notion of branched projective structure, which is much more flexible in many aspects. For example, any representation of a surface group with values in $\operatorname{PSL}(2, \mathbb{C})$ is obtained as the holonomy of a branched projective structure. We will show that one of the central properties of complex projective structures, namely the complex analytic structure of their moduli spaces, extends to the branched case.
