A "cash loan", as you have called it, is a loan based upon the cash value of a whole life insurance policy. Only whole life insurance policies (not term policies) accumulate cash value. Each premium payment is allocated between the cost of providing the indemnity protection (the "pure" protection), the administrative costs of the company, and what may be considered a "savings" element that is built into the policy. But do not confuse the "savings" element with a real savings account, because it is not; insurance is protection, not an investment. The cash value builds slowly at first but more rapidly as the policy matures.
All of that said, whole life policies generally allow for policy loans against the cash value of the policy. The loans bear interest at a rate stated in the policy. They need not be repaid, but if they are not, the accumulting interest eats away at the indemnity benefit. Likewise, if the loan is not repaid at all, upon the insured's death, the principal amount of the loan plus accrued interest is deducted from the indemnity benefit paid to the beneficiary(ies).

How do you take out a loan on your policy?
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.
