A policy loan is available only against a whole life policy, not a term life policy. Whole life accumulates cash value and a term life policy does not. The insurance policy will specify the interest rate that will accrue on the loan. The loan does not have to be repaid, but interest will continue to accrue if it does not. The insurance company will permit only a specified percentage of the cash value to be borrowed, and there must be a sufficient accumulation of cash value to a policy loan to be made. You should contact the insurance company directly to make arrangements for the loan.

Cash value of whole life insurance is referred to as the "Cash Surrender Value". The cash surrender value is money the policyholder is supposed to receive from the insurance company when surrendering the whole life insurance policy with cash value. The cash surrender value amount due is the sum of the cash value stated in the whole life insurance policy minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loans and interest due on the loans.
A life insurance policy may have cash value if it is a "whole life insurance policy". This is a kind of life insurance, distinguished from "term" life insurance, that accumulates cash value for the period that it is in force and premiums are paid. Each premium paid goes to pay the cost of "indemnity" (the death benefit), the administrative costs incurred by the insurer, with all or a portion of the remainder going into the cash value. The cash value element of the policy is SOMEWHAT like a savings account within the policy. It grows slowly at first but faster as the policy matures. When a sufficient amount of cash value has accumulated, policy loans from the cash value are usually allowed per the terms of the policy. The loans bear interest at a rate provided for by the policy. Term life insurance does not accumulate cash value.
The cash value can be borrowed from the insurance policy and an annuity purchased with it. Depending upon the insurer, you may be able to have the two transactions done with the same company (assuming you wish to buy an annuity product from that company). Keep in mind, however, that the cash value withdrawal is a loan that accrues interest according to the terms of the policy. Therefore, in order to make the transaction worthwhile, the annuity must throw off sufficient income to make up for the reduction of value of the insurance policy due to accruing interest on the policy loan.
A provision of an insurance company is often called an automatic premium loan. A provision is often added to life insurance policies as a rider on an insurance policy that has a cash value.

"Insurance and Taxes. No. All proceeds or withdrawals from any insurance policy are not taxable." This is not true. If you cancel a life insurance policy, the growth on the cash value IS TAXABLE. If you do not surrender your policy, the money is taken as a loan and therefore not taxable, but interest that has to be paid back to the insurance company grows.
Universal Life is a type of permanent life insurance based on a cash value. That is, the policy is established with the insurer where premium payments above the cost of insurance are credited to the cash value. The cash value is credited each month with interest, and the policy is debited each month by a cost of insurance (COI) charge, and any other policy charges and fees which are drawn from the cash value if no premium payment is made that month. The interest credited to the account is determined by the insurer; sometimes it is pegged to a financial index such as a bond or other interest rate index.
