Whether you should use a heckman selection model depends on your
research question, your data, your theory, the prevailing
superstitions in your discipline, etc. So we cannot advise you on
that.
On a pragmatic level I would suspect that there is a very high
probability that you just cannot estimate such a model with only 15
non-selected firms, as it will either not converge or show other
problems.
