Yes, if your life insurance policy has accumulated cash value. Not all life insurance policies will accumulate cash value: for example, term life insurance policies will not accumulate any cash value. Whole Life and Universal life policies can accumulate cash value and the policy owner can take loans in the limit of the cash value (some companies limit loans to 70 - 80% of the cash value).

If your life insurance policy has cash value, you can borrow from the cash value inside. If you have a term policy with an accelerated death benefit rider then you may be able to borrow against the death benefit if you have a terminal illness.
Most Life insurane companines allow you to borrow money from your Universal Life Policy. There will be an interest rate charged, the interest rate will be reflected in your policy under "Loans". You will only be able to borrow against the cash accumulation account. The amount in the account is usually the difference between the cost of insurance, plus expenses and the amount that you have been putting into the policy, plus any earned interest. The more money you pay into the policy above the cost of insurance and expenses, the more you should have in your cash accumulation account. Remember, you determine the amount of the premiums paid into the policy, the amount has to at least meet the minimum premium set by the life ins. company, and cannot exceed the top limit placed by IRS to maintain a life policy's tax benefits.

No. Term Life insurance does not have any cash value and expires at the end of the term, usually age 70.You can borrow against a permanent or whole life insurance policy however, but whatever amount is borrowed may reduce its cash value.
the limit of a loan against the policy is the amount of net cash value you have on the life insurance policy. Up to 75% of the paid up value of the life insurance policy, irrespective of the sum insured amount.
